javascript - Send keys on divnon input - Stack Overflow

I'm testing a site (in Chrome) that has a "spotlight search" feature like on Macs, where an input shows up when you press a certain key. There is a directive that takes care of the logic for this, and you can type anywhere in the application, as long as it's not an input. I need to test this feature by sending keys through my protractor tests, but I get unknown error: cannot focus element when I target a div. Is it possible to send keys on an element that isn't an input?

• I am already using browser.ignoreSynchronization and browser.sleep(5000) as that answer suggests, still have the same problem – cocoa Commented Jul 28, 2015 at 22:44

You would probably need to wait for the element to bee visible with a visibilityOf Expected Condition and browser.wait():

var EC = protractor.ExpectedConditions;
browser.wait(EC.visibilityOf(by.css("div#myid")), 5000);

var div = element(by.css("div#myid"));
div.sendKeys("test");

Also, you can try utilizing browser.actions():

browser.actions().mouseMove(div).sendKeys('test').perform();

Also, you may need to click the element before sending keys:

div.click().sendKeys("test");
