Problems with send_keys method

[Nazmul Haque Sarker]

I downloaded http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.9/chromedriver_mac32.zip

for my mac os.

My selenium code is below:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys


driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://google.com")
body = driver.find_element_by_tag_name("body")


body.send_keys(Keys.COMMAND + "t")

Unfortunately it fails to open new tab

But in Firefox it works fine.

So far I found, chromedriver fails for special keys.

because it works fine for: driver.find_element_by_id("email").send_keys("nazmul@newscred.com")

Is there any mistake in my code or it's a driver issue?

Could you make me clear please?

You mentioned in the beginning that you downloaded ChromeDriver for MAC - If I'm not mistaken you want to press CMD and not CTRL. From selenium.webdriver.common.keys this should be "COMMAND= u'\ue03d'" if I'm reading that right.

Hope that helps,
