I'm writing tests with Angular Scenario test runner. Within a traditional form, I can enter text into an input, but I need to press enter to execute the query and there is no button to click on. Surely there is some easy way to do this, but I do not know what it is.
input('query').enter('foo bar');
// ... now what?
I tried to simulate a keypress with JQuery, but as this answer indicates JQuery is not loaded in the e2e scenarios scope. So I followed his advice (as well as that of this answer) to simulate the keypress:
element('#search_input').query(function(el, done){
var press = document.createEvent('keypress');
press.which = 13;
press.trigger(evt);
done();
});
But to this Angular replies:
NotSupportedError: DOM Exception 9
Error: The implementation did not support the requested type of object or operation.
Update
I realized that a very easy workaround is to include a hidden submit input in my form:
<input id="search-submit" type="submit" style="display:none;">
Then in the scenario: element('#search-submit').click();
does what is needed.
For a purer solution which doesn't involve modifying the HTML for the sake of testing, @florian-f's answer (as well as this one) provides access to jQuery within the DSL via:
var $ = $window.$;
which can be used there or passed to the callback. However, even with this access when triggering a press of enter I was not able to submit my form in the following manner:
$(selector).trigger($.Event('keypress', { which: 13 }));
This must be another issue all together. But I did find jQuery's submit function to do the trick:
$(#the_form).submit();

There is also another possibility to trigger a key event. While your first approach
element('#search_input').query(function(el, done){
var press = document.createEvent('keypress');
press.which = 13;
press.trigger(evt);
done();
});
will be blocked by angular, this one
element(<selector>).query(function($el, done) {
var event = new CustomEvent('keyup');
event.keyCode = 13;
$el.val(2);
$el.get(0).dispatchEvent(event);
done();
});
will pass and trigger a keyup event on the element specified by the selector (keyCode = 13 = Enter Key). See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CustomEvent for further information.

You can access to the app (runner in an iframe) instance of jQuery :
angular.scenario.dsl('appElement', function() {
return function(selector, fn) {
return this.addFutureAction('element ' + selector, function($window, $document, done) {
fn.call(this, $window.angular.element(selector));
done();
});
};
});
Then you can call the trigger method of jQuery in your test :
appElement('yourSelector', function(elm) {
elm.trigger('enter');//or keypress
});
