sendKeys function is displaying following error in the code:

The method sendKeys(CharSequence[]) in the type WebElement is not applicable for the arguments (String)

Error line code:

import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

    It wants an array of Strings instead. – Jems Jan 24 '21 at 22:59
  • According to [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/23624169/13464279) answer you can try `driver.findElement(By.name("username")).sendKeys(new String[]{"Bharat"});`. But also check your compiler compliance level: look [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/24103315/13464279) and [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/34655130/13464279) – J.F. Jan 24 '21 at 23:29

(I can't comment yet, so leaving this)

Can you provide more context

  • full stacktrace of the error
  • surrounding code/ the html of what you are referencing
  • what are you trying to accomplish

Browserstack says this is the way to send keys to an input field: https://www.browserstack.com/guide/sendkeys-in-selenium

  1. Make sure driver.findElement(By.name("username")) is actually the element name of the input field
  2. Set a breakpoint, and check driver.findElement(By.name("username")) gets the element you want
