I have mentioned this before, but more as a question. Now I want to escalate this as a bug. If it can’t be fixed soon, then I will have to stop using Katalon because we’re migrating our web app to React.
When you use the recorder to play back a test, if your web app is using react, then textarea and input fields don’t work properly. The onChange handler is never triggered so the text is never saved.
The Selenium IDE plug-in does not have this issue and I thought that the underlying technology was the same, so I do wonder why this is happening in Recorder.
I’m using Recorder 7.1.0 on a mac with Chrome. All latest versions at the time of writing this. I have tried the commands; Type, SetText and SendKeys. They all ‘look’ as if the text has been entered, but as far as the react code is concerned, it hasn’t.
I would be very grateful of a response from the developers on this…
