How to send an "enter" command via _WD_ElementAction

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

Hi  

How can I send an "enter" command to an xpath using WD element action? 

I tried the below but it just sends "\uE006" to the search bar 

_WD_ElementAction($sSession,$SearchXpath,'value',"\uE006")

... something like this:

; https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/#keyboard-actions
        _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $oElement, 'value', $sValue & "\uE006")

for other keycodes see here: https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/#keyboard-actions

#I just tried this and it resulted in 

"$Value "\uE006""

being inserted into the search bar 

 

Also tried changing the 'value' to 'key' but that didn't work either

 

_WD_ElementAction($sSession,$SearchXpath,'key',"\uE006"

. ..only seen now that you edit OP.
instead of passing the xPath string directly into the second parameter ($SearchXpath), first search for the target object using the command:

$oGotElement = _WD_FindElement( ... ),  and then pass the returned value to the second parameter of the _WD_ElementAction:

_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $oGotElement, 'value', $sValue & "\uE006")

changed variable name to $oGotElement

OK I tried this but it seems to error as I get the msgbox come up

 

$GotElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, '/html/body/particle-toolbar/mat-toolbar/div[1]/div[1]')
      _WD_ElementAction($sSession,$GotElement,'key',"\uE006")
      If @error Then
         MsgBox(64, "Debug", "Error sending key enter.")
      EndIf

try to change 'key' with 'value'

@CaptainBeardsEyesBeard You should get in the habit of reviewing the Scite output log to identify why your code is failing. 😉
