I am trying to fill in an input field on a webpage using this code:

from splinter import Browser
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium import webdriver

executable_path = {'executable_path':ChromeDriverManager().install()}
browser = Browser('chrome', **executable_path, headless = False)
browser.visit('http://webapps2.rrc.state.tx.us/EWA/wellboreQueryAction.do')
**browser.find_by_name('searchArgs.leaseNumberArg').fill('searchArgs.leaseNumberArg',
                                                    '160895')**

I get this error: TypeError: fill() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

I've used the same syntax to successfully fill other input fields. As far as I can tell the only difference here is that the input field name contains a '.' which I think possibly relates to a column of some kind of data structure.

Any thought on how to get past this road block?

I've never used splinter before so I'm not sure myself. But after reading your code how about writing your code like this ?

browser.find_by_name('searchArgs.leaseNumberArg').fill('160895')

If I'm not wrong, you already have the element by using find_by_name() so you don't need to pass it second time inside the fill methods. Seems logic.

Here is another post that show how to use fill().
