sendKeys on IE 11 does update DOM, sometimes doesn't update ngModel correctly #2271
Description
Hello,
I have been inspecting some of our tests which were consistenly failing on IE 11 (while running correctly on Firefox and Chrome).
The tests are typing search text into an input and confirming with enter. The test then checks if a suggestion box shows the recent searches correctly. I am using a helper function that looks like this:
createRecent: function (recent) {
searchEl.sendKeys(recent);
return searchEl.getAttribute('value').then(function (currentValue) {
return searchEl.evaluate('input.text').then(function (modelValue) {
console.log('Writing value: \'' + recent + '\',', 'written value: \'' + currentValue + '\'', 'model value: \'' + modelValue + '\'');
});
}).then(function () {
return searchEl.sendKeys(protractor.Key.ENTER);
});
},
The output is the following:
Writing value: 'recent-i', written value: 'recent-i' model value: 'recent-'
Writing value: 'recent-b', written value: 'recent-b' model value: 'recent-b'
Writing value: 'recent-h', written value: 'recent-h' model value: 'recent-h'
Writing value: 'recent-c', written value: 'recent-c' model value: 'recent-c'
Writing value: 'recent-d', written value: 'recent-d' model value: 'recent-d'
Writing value: 'recent-e', written value: 'recent-e' model value: 'recent-e'
Writing value: 'recent-f', written value: 'recent-f' model value: 'recent-f'
Writing value: 'recent-a', written value: 'recent-a' model value: 'recent-a'
Writing value: 'recent-g', written value: 'recent-g' model value: 'recent-g'
Writing value: 'recent-j', written value: 'recent-j' model value: 'recent-j'
Note the first value was correctly written into the input but the underlaying ngModel value was not updated correctly. This doesn't happen always but it happens rather frequently (1 in every 10).
The input is rather basic, it has a ng-model with no parsers/formatters, only with a keyDown handler that handles the enter key.
I am not sure if this is an error in protractor, selenium or angular.
Selenium server 2.46.0 and browser running on Win 7, 64 bit. IE 11 with a 32bit driver.
Protractor 2.1.0
This might be connected with #2019
