859941 - Unable to dismiss keyboard on desktop B2G client by tapping another element

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Remote Protocol :: Marionette, defect)

Attachment: Reduced test case

The keyboard should be dismissed when tapping another element. For example, after entering a contact name and tapping done. This works manually, and when running tests against a device, but does not work against the desktop build.

I have attached a reduced test case that reproduces this issue. To run it you can use the following command line, replacing the path with the location of a desktop build.

Note that you will need to manually bring the desktop client to the foreground otherwise the keyboard will not be displayed. Also, I recommend backing up your profile as for some reason running the tests puts the profile in an unusable state. Both of these issues will be fixed in the next release of the Marionette client.

Interesting note, if you replace the tap() on the save-button element with a click(), then the keyboard is dismissed. We're updating what marionette's single_tap will do here Bug 850819 (and eventually what tap() will do here: Bug 845849. I'm going to build with these changes and see if they fix this behaviour

This is fixed by replacing marionette.tap(element) with element.tap()
