keyPress

[David Tran]

Can someone provide a step and step definition for keyPress method.

I have a search field with no search button and the only way to search is to hit 'enter' key.

Thanks for the help

I've had to do this and it's no fun. Here's what I have (note that I'm using Mink with Behat).

Make a step called "I press the enter key" or something similar.

Then, in the context, do this:

1. Find the element that you need using $this->getSession()->getPage()->find("css", <css_selector>);

2. Then, call your web driver's keyPress function, like this: $this->getSession()->getDriver()->keyPress(<element>->getXPath(), 13);

The "13" in the function call is the ASCII code for the "Enter" key. The <element> is the element that you selected in #1.

I hope this helps.

My solve:

/**

    * @Then /^I hit return$/

    */

    public function iHitReturn()

    {

       $js = 'var e = jQuery.Event("keypress");';

       $js .= 'e.which = 13;';

       $js .= '$("input").trigger(e);';

       $this->getSession()->executeScript($js);

    }
