I am running a Selenium test on BrowserStack and sendkeys command is not sending the specified text to the input field. I noticed that this issue usually occurs with special characters like @, #, etc.

How do I fix it?

  • Could you share the selenium script that you wrote? Exclude your username and access key information from it. – Surya Aug 09 '19 at 09:09

It is a known bug with IEDriver. SendKeys command doesn't work well with special characters and drops some letters from the input string.

You can refer the GitHub Issue - https://github.com/seleniumhq/selenium/issues/805#issuecomment-396581314

I recently found that BrowserStack has "browserstack.sendKeys" capability to overcome this. Refer this SendKeys on IE11 article on BrowserStack
