Show individual "keystrokes" on setValue

[gelform]

Currently, when using setValue in nightwatch.js, input values are "pasted" i.e. inputs are populated all at once. Is there a way to "type" values with a delay between keystrokes to better emulate a human typing? Without adding .pause(10) between each rule?

Unfortunately its not something available out of the box, would want to understand the use case here. @gelform

I'm parsing input values as they're typed, so "pasting" a value isn't representative of someone typing.

I just wrote a function

"setValueSlow": function(field, value, browser) {

    var text = "";
    var i = 0;
    var str = value ; 
    var length  = str.length
    while (i < str.length) {
    var res = str.slice(i, i+1);
    browser.pause(350)
    browser.setValue(field, res) 
    i++;
    }

Just like setValue but slices up the input and pauses between each character.

Hope this helps.

Worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

Glad I could help. It's a easy workaround. I wrote this years ago.
