线程“主” org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException中的异常：未知错误：无法聚焦元素

Question

I have been trying to use Selenium sendkeys() without success using Chrome. I've researched similar questions here that seemed related without success. I can spawn the URL, invoke buttons (click()) but when I attempt to enter a value within a specific text field I get:

"Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: cannot focus element."

Would appreciate any help. Thank you!

Here's a snippet of code:

WebElement titleBox = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='root']/div/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]"));
titleBox.click();
titleBox.sendKeys("Test Survey Title");

Here's the stack trace:

You can try following code using actions class to have focus on your element before you can interact with it:

WebElement titleBox = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*@id='root']/div/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]"));

Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.moveToElement(titleBox).build().perform();
titleBox.click();
titleBox.sendKeys("Test Survey Title");
