Error while inserting newline "\n" in a textarea

sebhuet

Hi,

I am using sahi last build and chrome and automate a web site via java.
I have a textarea called "message" i would like to fill with text containing carrier return \r\n.

ElementStub ta = browser.textarea("message");
ta.setValue("a\nb");

this leads to error invalid token.

How may i handle newlines ?

Thanks in advance.

Seb

I tried it with chromium with the controller, "\t" is working but "\n" isn't. Got the V3.5

Hi sebhuet,

This has been fixed in Sahi V3.5

The usage of this is :

browser.textarea("ta1").setValue("a\nb");
