I just upgraded to Selenium 2 and having trouble simulating a keypress in firefox

  • 0

I just upgraded to Selenium 2 and having trouble simulating a keypress in firefox (maybe other browsers?). First of all, the new API, using IWebDrivers, does not provide a keypress funktion. I can acquire a ISelenium instance with the 1.0 API (WebDriverBackedSelenium) functions, however I receive an error when using this. E.g.

new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, TestServerUrl).KeyDownNative("27");

yields

System.NotSupportedException : keyDownNative

The same is the case for KeyDown, KeyPress etc. Is this not supported in Selenium v2?

Thanks in advance!

    Ok so to future reader – I read some of ThoughtWorks documentation and the Selenium v2 API is not quite implemented yet.

    So note to self – Big difference between v1 and v2 and v2 API not fully implemented.
