Element.clear() doesn't work on React elements

[jklingen92]

🐛 Bug Report

The WebElement clear() command doesn't work on certain inputs.

I believe it is related to React Components.

To Reproduce

Run the following script

from selenium import webdriver
from time import sleep


driver = webdriver.Chrome() #Can be Firefox as well
driver.get('https://reactjs.org/')

name_field = driver.find_element_by_id("algolia-doc-search")
print(name_field.get_property('value'))

name_field.send_keys('hello')
print(name_field.get_property('value'))

sleep(1)

name_field.clear()
print(name_field.get_property('value'))

driver.close()

Run the script. It will type 'hello' into the search bar, pause, and then send the clear command. The search bar will remain filled.

Expected behavior

clear() should empty the search bar.

Test script or set of commands reproducing this issue

python tmp.py

Issues without a reproduction script are likely to stall and eventually be closed.
