How to use Execute Javascript driver.findElement(By.xpath in Robot Framework

I'm having a hard time trying to use Execute Javascript driver.findElement(By.xpath in Robot Framework

I have no issues updating the value of an element using this JS method below

document.getElementById("Some_ID").value = "Some Value"

Robot can find the document.getElementById method but can't find the driver.findElement(By.xpath method

Does anyone know how I would go about using the method/instantiating the driver?

The error I get is this:

WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: driver is not defined

driver.findElement(By.xpath) is not a Javascript method. It is a method of Selenium. As you said, javascript only has document.getElementById method.

If you still want to use xpath with javascript method, use Assign Id To Element keyword (see more at HERE). It will assign an ID for an xpath locator. Then use that ID in document.getElementById method
