unable to pass string using sendKeys method?

Does the webelement in the question accepts string characters ? Try manually entering some string "XYZ" in it .

if you have to enter some integer in that webelement and if you are importing it from xlsx, then convert it to int even b4 using sendkeys . Note : when importing from xlsx every data type would be converted to string.

seem like you're missing jar files.

I get the same error "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
The method sendKeys(CharSequence[]) in the type WebElement is not applicable for the arguments (String)" when I enter "XYZ"

jar files missing ? could you please let me know.

selenium jar files download them and add them.

I added the selenium jar files. I don't see any changes still.

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;


public class testing_gmail {


public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://gmail.com");

WebElement emailId=driver.findElement(By.id("Email"));
emailId.sendKeys("xyz")
// WebElement Button=driver.findElement(By.id("next"));
//Button.click();

int x= emailId.getLocation().x;
int y=emailId.getLocation().y;
System.out.println(x + "----" +y);

//driver.findElement(By.id("Email")).sendKeys("asha");
}

}



error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
The method sendKeys(CharSequence[]) in the type WebElement is not applicable for the arguments (String)

at testing_gmail.main(testing_gmail.java:15)

emailId.sendKeys("xyz");

semicolon is missing in your code, add ; to the line and try again

Even after adding semi colon it does'nt work. I get the same error.

i tried your code its working for me. there must be some missing jar files. delete all your jar files and download them again.
