[php-coder]

The issue is the same as MarkusBernhardt/robotframework-selenium2library-java#92:

The keyword Textfield Value Should Be fails with NullPointerException, when it's used for getting a value from the <input type=url>:

[Hi-Fi]

What version you were using? Those lines doesn't seem to be matching at least the latest one.

Same issue still seems to be in later version, as it assumes that elements is always found with the value. But that error shouldn't be coming if the locator of the element is correct.

[php-coder]

What version you were using?

2.53.1.1

[Hi-Fi]

There was clear issue at the code (comes from the original logic of method that gets the value), but has to check if the fix should be done to that method all places using it (as that method is also keyword).

Quite probably that version is not going to be updated, as Selenium 2 has been replaced with Selenium 3 almost from the beginning of this fork.

[php-coder]

Thanks!

I'll check it again after migrating to Selenium 3 and report back.

I'll check it again after migrating to Selenium 3 and report back.

I've tried to roll back my workaround and tests started to fail, so the issue is still here. I tested on 3.141.59.2653

Hi. I think that method 'getCssValue' can help you
https://github.com/Hi-Fi/robotframework-seleniumlibrary-java/blob/9844ad4199903b6513d7878705b93bab275a1bb7/src/main/java/com/github/markusbernhardt/seleniumlibrary/keywords/Element.java#L431

to find 'innerText' from css

Or you can extend class https://github.com/Hi-Fi/robotframework-seleniumlibrary-java/blob/develop/src/main/java/com/github/markusbernhardt/seleniumlibrary/CustomRobotDriverElement.java
and develop own logic of methods for your tasks)
