🤔 Situation

I have like this HTML and want to set a value into it.

<div class="bootstrap-dialog-message">
  <input type="text" class="form-control">
</div>

😅 set finishes although it's not completed!

When capybara try to input the email,

find('input').set('[e-mail]')

the results were like this. it's kind of random error.

1: loooo
2: [e-mail]
3: loooooooooooooooooong@e
.
.

👍 Fix it!

Using Until

There is a method until ~ end. You can try again until the condition will succeed.

until find('input') == '[e-mail]'
  find('input').set('[e-mail]')
end

Using 10.times

10.times do
  find('input').set('[e-mail]')
  break if find('input') == '[e-mail]'
end

In my case I was only able to write four characters and when I used larger strings I was getting the Selenium::WebDriver::Error::ElementNotInteractableError exception.
