Selenium Endpoint - Cannot perform a local keyboard action

Speedboat · Post by **Speedboat** » Fri May 05, 2017 1:10 pm

Hi

I installed Selenium Standalone Driver with local Endpoint as 'WebDriver'
Connection works fine.

Ranorex tries to click on a text item
Test Case fails and report says:
"Cannot perform a local keyboard action on a mobile element"

I checked that the Endpoint is really a WebDriver.
Any Idea why Ranorex thinks it is on a mobile device?

Many thanks,
Speedboat

Windows 10 / 64 bit
Ranorex 7.0.1
Selenium Standalone 3.4.0
Firefox 53.0 (32bit)

Ranorex 6.2.1 does not work with WebDriver. WebDriver requires Ranorex 7.0+. Are you sure that is the version you are using?

Thanks, Sorry

(6.2.1. was installed before)
Off course Ranorex 7.0.1 is installed (would not see endpoint selection either

Hello Speedboat,

This error message may appear, when you are trying to perform a "Mobile Key Press"-action during a Selenium test.
Please make sure to only use "Mouse"-actions in order to click on buttons and "Key Sequence"-actions in order to write text into input fields.

regards,
