Hi Community members, 
Have you ever run into a situation when you are sure that an element is interactable but then, you still received the error message Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotInteractableException: element not interactable?
The textarea element, which regularly experiences that kind of issue, is what we want to focus on in this article.
If that is the case, you need to verify that the textarea belongs to the codemirror class.
If so, we are going to use a specific approach to accurately capture the object. Let’s follow the steps listed below.
Instructions
1. Find the very first tag, include CodeMirror, of the object
2. Define the object with any locators, such as:
-
xPath:
//div[@class="CodeMirror cm-s-default"] -
CSS Selector:
.CodeMirror.cm-s-default
Now, we can practice the approach above with the two scenarios below.
Scenario 1: Find and replace a text
Example: Find the text function and replace it with def
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.internal.WebUIAbstractKeyword
WebUI.openBrowser('')
WebUI.navigateToUrl('https://codemirror.net/5/demo/theme.html')
def editor = WebUIAbstractKeyword.findWebElement(findTestObject('Object Repository/TextBox_CodeMirror'))
WebUI.executeJavaScript("""
var editor = arguments[0].CodeMirror;
var pattern = arguments[1];
var replacement = arguments[2];
editor.setValue(editor.getValue().replace(pattern, replacement));
""", Arrays.asList(editor, "function", "def"))
Scenario 2 : Replace all current text with different content
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.internal.WebUIAbstractKeyword
WebUI.openBrowser('')
WebUI.navigateToUrl('https://codemirror.net/5/demo/theme.html')
def editor = WebUIAbstractKeyword.findWebElement(findTestObject('Object Repository/TextBox_CodeMirror'))
WebUI.executeJavaScript("""
var editor = arguments[0].CodeMirror;
var pattern = arguments[1];
var replacement = arguments[2];
editor.setValue(pattern); """, Arrays.asList(editor, "Just For Testing"))
Additionally, the sample project and video below might make it easier to see how the recommended methodology operates.
