UPDATE: I'm not entirely certain if this detail will help, but the platform is Sharepoint-based.
I am encountering difficulty in locating an element with a special character using Webdriver.
var element = wait.Until(x => x.FindElement(By.Id("Tasrit_6aecdca9-e3b9-4141-ae36-d537784f9592_$TextField_inplacerte")));
element.SendKeys("foo");
It appears that the issue may be related to the $ symbol.
However, I managed to identify it by employing :
var element = wait.Until(x => x.FindElements(By.CssSelector("div[id*='Tasrit_6aecdca9-e3b9-4141-ae36-d537784f9592']")));
element[2].FindElement(By.TagName("p")).SendKeys("foo");
The test seems to pass in this manner, but the data doesn't actually get sent to the field.
Regrettably, there is no input tag in the element's structure, and upon manual text insertion, it becomes apparent that the value was placed within the <p> tag. However, utilizing the <p> tag as shown does not yield the desired outcome.
The HTML:
<div class="ms-rtestate-write ms-rteflags-0 ms-rtestate-field" id="Tasrit_6aecdca9-e3b9-4141-ae36-d537784f9592_$TextField_inplacerte" role="textbox" aria-haspopup="true" aria-labelledby="Tasrit_6aecdca9-e3b9-4141-ae36-d537784f9592_$TextField_inplacerte_label" style="min-height: 84px;" contenteditable="true" aria-autocomplete="both" aria-multiline="true" RteDirty="true">
<p>
<span id="ms-rterangecursor-start" RteNodeId="1"></span>
<span id="ms-rterangecursor-end"></span>
</p>
</div>
