GeckoDriver is not entering value for Firstname field within Firefox browser

Question

Firefox driver is not entering a value for Firstname field. I'm trying the following:

driver.findElement(By.xpath(//*[@id=\JNHGYHG\"]")).sendsKeys("Hello");

Can someone help me with this?

you "" are wrong just by looking at your xpath assuming you have the the rest right try this: driver.findElement(By.xpath(//*[@id="\JNHGYHG\"])).sendsKeys("Hello"); — mbn217, Feb 07 '19 at 16:54
sharing html will be better , but try this one driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='\JNHGYHG\']")).sendsKeys("Hello"); — mbn217, Feb 07 '19 at 17:23
Your current code presented won't build. Please fix it and update the question. Also, why are you using an XPath for just an ID when you can just use `By.id("JNHGYHG")`? — JeffC, Feb 07 '19 at 17:25

Try this and see any difference.

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='JNHGYHG']")).sendKeys("Hello");

can you please share html here? – KunduK Feb 08 '19 at 11:51
well I cannot share HTML due to privacy. so that's why I asked ho can I run the script with this kind of ID. because I am getting an error message org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element: #JNHGYHG – Sitara Feb 08 '19 at 11:58
Correct you can share the partial html snapshot only the part it is impacted.Come on that you can do. – KunduK Feb 08 '19 at 12:03
driver.findElement(By.id("JNHGYHG")).sendKeys("Hello"); Thread.sleep(2000); – Sitara Feb 08 '19 at 12:20
That is not html.I am asking when you inspect the element provide that element html part.Not the java code which you have written. – KunduK Feb 08 '19 at 12:24

As mentioned in your code trial there is an error within the Locator Strategy you have used.

Solution

You can use either of the following solutions:

Using id attribute:

driver.findElement(By.id("JNHGYHG")).sendKeys("Hello");

Using cssSelector:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#JNHGYHG")).sendKeys("Hello");

Using xpath (option A):

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='JNHGYHG']")).sendKeys("Hello");

Using xpath (option B):

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"JNHGYHG\"]")).sendKeys("Hello");
