Unable To Type In Chrome

I have an interessing issue with my Chrome browser. I don't get it. When I last used my computer, I could just enter text like 'tratata' into the adress bar, press the return (enter) key, and it searched the web. Now, I can type in the word, but if I press the return (enter) key, nothing happens. If I type an adress like 'gmail.com' it works.

  • ChromeOption's ToCapabilities() returns capabilities.AsReadOnly()
  • For Safari and others there's a comment: // Should return capabilities.AsReadOnly(), and will in a future release.

Sorry, didn't quite get the solution. It was just a config change that adds an <android> node. Was that really the intended fix?

yes, to run test on Android and iPhone with BrowserStack and our framework 3.1.7 you have to add only that config change, please check here https://automate.browserstack.com/builds/3657b5743f48102c6f6481a812cf10062a7d6fa7/sessions/93cce045a748a695d832c27ab2f8b93acc54f6ec test were executed on Android and Iphone

Hmm...I get a 404/non-found for the above link. I guess the issue is with Chrome (when used with a RemoteWebDriver like BrowserStack) - irrespective of the platform (Android/Windows)…

And these are the package-versions I'm currently using...
