As per the documentation the sendKeys() method is defined as:
void sendKeys(java.lang.CharSequence... keysToSend)
Parameters:
keysToSend - character sequence to send to the element
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if keysToSend is null
So, its clear that we can't override SendKeys() method in the first place.
Alternative
As an alternative, referring to the discussion A general question about Java and WebDriver @KrishnanMahadevan mentions that you can make an attempt to override sendKeys() method following the below mentioned concepts, steps and procedure:
- The concept may vary depending on what WebDriver variant you are working with.
- As all of the WebDriver implementations extend RemoteWebDriver and you are only going to work with RemoteWebDriver, so while working with Selenium Grid you can use the following tweak.
- If you are not working with RemoteWebDriver but instead working with GeckoDriver, ChromeDriver, IEDriverServer, then you would need to
extendthe respective classes,overrideall of thefindElement(),findElements(), etc methods in these classes to return an instance of my_web_element.
my_web_element would basically be your class wherein you would extend RemoteWebElement and then overrideorg.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebElement.sendKeys(CharSequence...)
The above step will definitely get you started.
