Tips, Tricks, Gotchas & Best Practices:
- As an alternative to "type" command, you can use sendKeys, sendKeysEnter, sendKeysTabOut commands, in cases where the execution results are not as expected.
- When you use "type" command, it clears the input field and then enters the text. Whereas, commands like "sendKeys", "sendKeysEnter", "sendKeysTabOut" do not clear the input field, instead they append the text to the existing value. In this case, use the clear command along with these commands.
- As a best practice, you are encouraged to validate the value entered in the input field using assertValue, verifyValue or waitForValue commands.
