Webdriverio: setValue() works very slowly with browser internet explorer 11(IE11)

[Windyq]

The problem

When I use setValue() to type String, i.e. 90001, it will type 9.....(about 5 seconds) 0.....0.....0.....1 in browser internet explorer 11 . It means to take about 20 seconds to complete this action.

But it works well in Firefox and Chrome. Please help check.

Environment

• WebdriverIO version: 4.6.2
• Node.js version: 6.9.2
• Standalone mode or wdio testrunner: wdio testrunner
• if wdio testrunner, running synchronous or asynchronous tests: synchronous
• Additional wdio packages used (if applicable):

This is unfortunately an IE11 issue. There is nothing WebdriverIO can do about it. Also join our for these kind of questions. This is not necessary an issue.

Hi @Windyq

Try using 32bits driver. It worked for me.

@fogrizovic Any idea how one would specify the driver version to be 32-bit when using selenium-standalone-service?

Hey @fogrizovic
Is it possible to use 32-bit drivers while you are using 64-bit IE11?
