Hello,

I am new to robot framework.

Just trying to see if there is a solution to clear default value in input type text in robot framework

I tried :

input text  ${locator_name}   ${EMPTY}

Hi,

Here is the html.

<div class="abcd">
<div class="abcde"><h2>some text</h2></div><div data-id="some-id">
<div data-id="input" class="classnamedd">
<label class="labell" data-id="labelss">Nameeee</label>
<input type="text" id="id-name" placeholder="plname" value="This has to be cleared" class="someclasss">
<p class="ssomee">click text</p><!-- react-empty: 52 -->
</div>


And I tried both above options.

Hi Sri,

This did not work either. Test passed as if it cleared the text but in fact default text is not cleared.

For meanwhile I tried below code, I know this is not the right way, robot framework should have some means.

[Arguments]     ${value}
${text_lenght}=    Get Length      ${value}
Run Keyword If    """${value}""" != ''
...     Repeat Keyword  ${text_length}  Press Key  ${locator_id}   \\08     #\\08 - Delete


Thanks & Regards,
Hari.
