Issue focusing Quill text editor with Axiom.ai
I'm currently evaluating Axiom ai to determine whether it could be used for automation within the company I work for. During testing, I encountered an issue when trying to focus on a specific text input field.
Unfortunately, I cannot share the exact application we are using, but I can provide enough information to explain the problem.
The UI uses the Quill 1.X rich text editor instead of a standard HTML textarea. What I am trying to automate is focusing the editor, clearing its contents, and then inserting new text. The intended steps are:
- Click element – select the editor area
- Press key(s) – Ctrl+A and Delete
- Enter text – insert the new content
Steps 2 and 3 work correctly during testing. The issue occurs with Step 1. Clicking the element does not place the cursor inside the editor, so the following keyboard actions are not applied. I suspect this happens because the Quill editor does not use a traditional textarea element for input.
Do you have a recommended approach for reliably focusing such editors when automating with Axiom.ai?
Thank you in advance for your help.
