Legacy | Type

  • Command: typetext

  • Supported Platforms: Native (legacy), UFT (legacy), Selenium, Appium

    All commands must be executed using the same framework. Sharing the execution ID between different frameworks is not possible. This means that if you work with a Selenium/Appium driver, you need to call the commands using the Selenium/Appium driver (or, in the case of Reporting commands, through the Reporting SDK that works with the driver) and not as part of a UFT test or another framework.

  • Supported OS: Android, iOS

Description

Enters text into a field on the device screen. The device should be in text-entry-mode: either the virtual keyboard is open or the cursor is waiting for text. Most platforms support Unicode and allow text in any language.

On most devices, the text is sent directly to the operating system, disregarding the keyboard.

Tip: For best performance, it is recommended to use a minimal amount of keyboard languages.
