Cypress: Cannot type on datetime-local input

[jcAxe]

Hi, i'm trying to type on an input of datetime-local type.
On the documentation, it says that datetime-local is supported but nothing was never typed, no matter how I tried to type it type.('10102019{rightarrow1010pm}',type.('000000000000pm}').
Also, in this #1366 issue has a workaround. but both did not work.
It does select the input, but never types.

Hi @keryar, are you seeing any errors with the type commands you wrote?

[jcAxe]

No errors, the cy.get() returns the input, and the .type() apparently types, because it goes through as it really typed. But nothing is displayed.

Hi, i also have the same problem. I try all combinations of date i can remember.
The documentation says about date and time inputs but not datetime. Is that working? If yes can you give us an example?

Thanks

I think the difference here in this case from others I had is that this one acts like everything went fine, even though nothing was writen.

So, i did some more tests and this is what i found out:
Code:

cy
  .get("input[type=\"datetime-local\"]:first")
  .type("1959-09-13T10:10");

Error:
The specified value "1" does not conform to the required format
The format is "yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm" followed by optional ":ss" or ":ss.SSS".
The specified value "9" does not conform to the required format
The format is "yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm" followed by optional ":ss" or ":ss.SSS".
The specified value "5" does not conform to the required format
The format is "yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm" followed by optional ":ss" or ":ss.SSS".
... for all numbers of datetime

I have tried with input type date and works fine

Any news on this?

@sadplace yes, this is going in along with native events #2436

Just wanted to check in as well -- has this been fixed? I'm having a similar issue with the same console log. Including it here.

I'm checking this documentation out as well and datetime-local doesn't have supplementary info. But I'm assuming the format is yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm because that's what the console says.

The date input works fine!

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#4870, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.
