I’m currently working on test automation using Selenium WebDriver, and I encountered an issue while trying to reset the value of a WebElement to null. Here’s a snippet of my code:
<code> WebElement EditName = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("(//input[@class='form-control fw-bold'])[1]")));
EditName.clear();
</code>
<code> WebElement EditName = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("(//input[@class='form-control fw-bold'])[1]")));
EditName.clear();
</code>
WebElement EditName = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("(//input[@class='form-control fw-bold'])[1]")));
EditName.clear();
I attempted to use the clear() method followed by sendKeys("") to reset the value, but this inserted a space instead of clearing the value completely. I want to ensure that there’s no value, not even a space, after clearing the WebElement.
Is there a way to achieve this without inserting any characters into the field? Should inserting a space after using clear() be considered a bug, or is there a different approach I should be taking?
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
