selenium PhantomJS send_keys doesn't work
phantomjs, python, selenium, selenium-webdriver
Solution
I highly suspect it's just timing issue.
Selenium's `click()` will wait for page to load if it is redirected after clicking, while `send_key()` doesn't wait. (PhantomJS is headless, which is faster than Firefox)
Please try add some sleep like `time.sleep(5)` after `elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)`, before `print driver.title`, and see if you can get the result you want.
In real testing project, you just need to use WebDriverWait until `driver.title` equals to the value you want.
Problem
I am using selenium and PhantomJS for testing. I followed Selenium's simple usage, but send_keys doesn't work on PhantomJS, it works on Firefox. Why? I have to use `button.click()` instead? ``` #!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import sys reload(sys) sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8') from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys driver = webdriver.PhantomJS() driver.get("http://www.python.org/") elem = driver.find_element_by_id("q") elem.clear() elem.send_keys("python") elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN) # button = driver.find_element_by_id('submit') # button.click() print driver.title print driver.page_source driver.close() ```
