The Input Text keyword of Robot Framework does not work

Question

Below is the code that I have written:

 open browser https://www.amazon.com chrome maximize browser window sleep 3s input text id=twotabsearchtextbox Ferrari 458 click button xpath=//div[@class='nav-search-submit nav-sprite']/input[@class='nav-input'] 

When executed I am getting the below error message:

WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: call function result missing 'value' (Session info: chrome=79.0.3945.79) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.33.506120 (e3e53437346286c0bc2d2dc9aa4915ba81d9023f),platform=Windows NT 10.0.17134 x86_64)

Please note that the Chrome Driver and the chrome browser used is the latest

Answer 1

You have the incorrect version of chromedriver installed. Take a look at this part of the error message:

(Session info: chrome=79.0.3945.79) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.33.506120 

chromedriver 2.33 is very old, and only supports very old versions of chrome. According to the chromedriver download page, version 79.x of chrome requires version 79.x version of chromedriver.

Answer 2

When i run your code making use of chrome on mac os with the below versions listed for chrome-driver , the code simply works, without any issues. I suspect, there might be some issue with your chromedriver, can you please verify the chrome-driver which you are making use of is the same as the one mentioned below?
