Protractor.Key.Enter is not working in ChromeDriver v75.0.3770.8

Hi,

Hope someone can help me looking into this issue. I updated my chromedriver to the latest version i.e. v75.0.3770.8, my regression tests started failing since then.

See the error message below

Failed: sendKeysToActiveElement
    Build info: version: '3.141.59', revision: 'e82be7d358', time: '2018-11-14T08:25:53'
    System info: host: '***', ip: '172.*.*.*', os.name: 'Windows 10', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '10.0', java.version: '1.8.0_201'
    Driver info: driver.version: unknown

I usually use the command below to to perform RETURN(ENTER) on keyboard. browser.actions().sendKeys(protractor.Key.ENTER).perform();

I reverted back to chrome v74.0.3729.6 and it’s all working fine

Thanks

Hi @kiran333 , @jmutidjo

enabling the below capability enables chrome 74+ to use legacy API. Please try it works.

‘goog:chromeOptions’: { w3c: false }

Thanks !
