Does anyone know why Click Element produces "TypeError: string indices must be integers" in my headless setup and runs well in my other setup with RIDE?

[mell...@prometsource.com]

Does anyone know why does my locator '//div[@class='addressfield-container-inline locality-block country-US']/div[2]/div/button/span' run on my robotframework with ride setup and not on my headless setup because it produces an error TypeError: string indices must be integers.

Debug log:

I think this is related to https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/pull/1547

Try to use another version f.e. 2.47.3

Thanks,

Dmitry

Hi Dmitry,

Thank you for your fast response.

I have tried to apply those change and it seems that it didn't solve the issue.

Thanks,

Mello

Had a similar issue with clicking a button (getting TypeError: string indices must be integers with the same trace)

Discovered that while everything works great manually, when running the test with Firefox, the button I'm trying to click was clickable ONLY on the left part of it (again, fully clickable while manually testing).

Used Click Element At Coordinates, shifting the click to the left solved the issue for me

Hope that helps,

Zeevik
