How can I send data in text field using Selenium?

Question

I'm having an issue when I'm going to send data in text field. I got an exception.

I'm using Firefox version 54.0b1 (32-bit) and Selenium 3.3.1.

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

The exception:

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.InvalidArgumentException: Expected [object Undefined] undefined to be a string

Can provide some more information as: 1. What are your testing steps? 2. What have you tried so far? Show code. 3. What worked for you? 4. Where are you stuck? — undetected Selenium

you need to download the latest gecko driver for Mozilla Firefox 54.x and Selenium 3.x.

Also provide accurate path as follows:

        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\directory\\geckodriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver =  new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.get("http:\\yoururl.com");
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='email']")).sendKeys("Test");

Hope it will work for you.

OS does not cause to this kind of issues...... You can give another try by downgrading the Firefox version.
