Unable to login using selenium webdriver in Java

Question

This is really weird but I suddenly cannot login using selenium. I was able to login with my code just a week ago and then I can't anymore. Here's the html code from the website:

<div class="form-group">
 <label for="loginUsername" style="width: 100%; font-weight: normal" aria-label="Username">
 <input id="loginUsername" class="form-control" name="username" type="text" placeholder="Username" autocapitalize="off">
</label>
</div>

<div class="form-group">
 <label for="loginPassword" style="width: 100%; font-weight: normal" aria-label="Password">
 <input id="loginPassword" class="form-control" name="password" type="password" placeholder="Password" autocapitalize="off">
</label>
</div>

And here is my code before the incident:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"loginUsername\"]")).sendKeys("username");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"loginPassword\"]")).sendKeys("password");

It worked fine before. I even tried changing it up and it looked something like this:

WebElement username = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"loginUsername\"]")); username.click(); username.clear(); ;username.sendKeys("username");
WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"loginPassword\"]")); password.click(); password.clear(); ;password.sendKeys("password");

I honestly don't know what is wrong with my code and I didn't get any error too. I also tried using "By.name()" or "By.id()" but it still didn't work so I'm really confused. Please help me, thank you!

<div class="col-sm-4 col-sm-offset-4">
<form action="/login" method="post">
  <div class="form-group title">
  <img src="/img/RA_LOGO_BLUE.png" alt="Risk Assessment System Logo">
  </div>
<div class="form-group">
  <label for="loginUsername" style="width: 100%; font-weight: normal" aria-label="Username">
  <input id="loginUsername" class="form-control" name="username" type="text" placeholder="Username" autocapitalize="off">
  </label>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
  <label for="loginPassword" style="width: 100%; font-weight: normal" aria-label="Password">
    <input id="loginPassword" class="form-control" name="password" type="password" placeholder="Password" autocapitalize="off">
  </label>
    </div>
    <input id="loginBtn" class="btn" type="submit" value="Login">
  </form>
  <br>
  <div class="text-left">
    <span class="fakeLink" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#forgotPasswordModal">Forgot Password?</span><br>
    <span class="fakeLink" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#forgotUsernameModal">Forgot Username?</span>
  </div>
</div>

You need to be more specific for us to help you. What's the error you get? Does the form get filled? — Ailef

From this bit of code, it is hard to tell what is going on. Please provide a minimal reproducible example. — SiKing

To send text to the username and password field you can use the following code block :

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='loginUsername']")).sendKeys("username");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='loginPassword']")).sendKeys("password");

@NodirNasirov You saw it right. Certainly OP made some manipulation while providing the HTML. Having said that my answer was based on OP's initial code trial when there was no HTML with in the question !!!
