CSS does not match :focus-ed element

[clarabstract]

Trying to create a cucumber step that is basically just "start typing" (i.e. wherever the cursor already is).

Using the capybara selenium driver, this works as expected:

find("input:focus").native.send_keys(keys)

Using poltergeist however, I just get ElementNotFound

This may be related to ariya/phantomjs#10427

Barring a fix to that, is there any other way of just sending keys over to the browser without having to specify a particular element?

I agree I think this is a PhantomJS problem, not a Poltergeist problem. And no, there is no way to sendKeys to the page without a particular element.

The element should be focused considering this

poltergeist/lib/capybara/poltergeist/client/browser.coffee

Line 267 in 1f0c785

this.node(page_id, id).mouseEvent('click')

When there is a resolution to ariya/phantomjs#10427 this should be fixed - there's nothing Poltergeist can do about it.

I'm closing this because it's a phantomjs issue we can do nothing about. As a workaround, to basically do the same thing you can run

evaluate_script('document.activeElement').send_keys(keys)
