I.fill()

Fill a text input field with a specific value.

Any existing value in the input field will be cleared and replaced with the given value.

This works for <input> elements that accept text input and <textarea> elements.

INFO

I.fill() clears an existing value in the input field and replaces it with the given value. To insert text instead, use I.type().

I.fill() only targets <input> and <textarea> elements. To interact with rich text editors or contenteditable elements, use I.type().

Usage

I.fill(element: string, value: string)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
element	string	Text input element to target — by visible text, CSS or XPath selector
value	string	Value to fill into the field

Examples

Fill a field by visible text

I.fill("Email", "[email protected]");

Targets the input field labeled Email and fills it with the specified value.

This targets an element that best matches the text "Email" (case-insensitive), based on:

• associated <label> elements
• descriptive attributes such as aria-label, title, alt-text
• the text content of the element, including the input placeholder and value
• the name attribute
• adjacent text

Fill a field using CSS

I.fill("#email-input", "[email protected]")

Targets the input element matching the CSS selector #email-input.

Fill a field using XPath

I.fill("//*[@name='email']", "[email protected]")

Targets the input element matching the XPath selector //*[@name='email'].

Clear a field

To clear an input field, fill it with an empty string:

I.fill("Email", "");

Or use I.clear():

I.clear("Email");
