Python and Selenium - avoid submitting a form when send_keys () is on a newline
I am using Python 3 with selenium.
Suppose var = "whatever\nelse"
My problem is that when I use elem.send_keys(var)
it submits the form after "anyway" (due to newline)
How can I replace "any \ nelse" with anything + SHIFT + ENTER + else?
Or is there another way to introduce newlines without actually using javascript or replacing newlines with the newline key?
Note : elem is a content-accessible div.

Have you tried something like:
ActionChains(driver).key_down(Keys.SHIFT).key_down(Keys.ENTER).key_up(Keys.SHIFT).key_up(Keys.ENTER).perform()
how
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('http://foo.bar')
inputtext = 'foo\nbar'
elem = driver.find_element_by_tag_name('div')
for part in inputtext.split('\n'):
elem.send_keys(part)
ActionChains(driver).key_down(Keys.SHIFT).key_down(Keys.ENTER).key_up(Keys.SHIFT).key_up(Keys.ENTER).perform()
ActionChains
after pressing there will be a chain key_down
SHIFT + ENTER + key_up
.
Likewise, you execute your SHIFT
+ ENTER
, then release the buttons so that you don't write everything to the caplock (due to SHIFT)
PS: this example adds too many new lines (due to a simple on loop inputtext.split('\n')
, but you got the idea.
