New issue 8240 by 3...@detfalskested.dk: Make calling WebElement
manipulation methods chainable
https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=8240
This is a feature request.
An example: If I want to change the text of an input field, i first have to
clear it, then enter the new text. For this, I either need to assign the
element to a variable to call .clear() and .send_keys() on it, or find the
element twice.
click, submit, clear, send_keys (possibly others?) have no return values.
I'd like them to return self, to allow me to optimise my example from
something like:
my_element.clear()
my_element.send_keys('new text')
To:
my_element.clear().send_keys('new_text')
Are there good arguments against this behaviour?
If not, I could even implement this myself (and push the code back to you),
but only for some of the supported languages, as I don't feel confident
with all of them.
