Currently, I am utilizing selenium automation to streamline the processes of a third-party website. To input data into form fields, I have been employing the SendKeys()
method. While this method is functional, it's time-consuming as there are numerous input fields in each form, resulting in approximately 5-6 seconds per form fill. Given that multiple forms need to be completed in this manner, efficiency is paramount.
To address this issue, one potential solution could involve using JavaScriptExecutor as demonstrated below:
IJavaScriptExecutor js = (IJavaScriptExecutor) driver;
js.ExecuteScript("document.getElementById('mobileNum').value = '123456789'");
An obstacle arises when dealing with sites built on Angular architecture. Simply setting values using the above script does not suffice, leading to continual prompts indicating blank values – a departure from the effective functionality seen with SendKeys()
.
Thus, my query remains: what methodology strikes the ideal balance between quick and accurate form completion, resembling the speed of JavaScript while maintaining the precision of SendKeys()
