group').send_keys('sometext')

Answer 1

I can’t test this but I think you cannot enter something in the div. You have to do get the input element by id. As the Id you enter: input-6199bf2c

Answer 2

To send a character sequence to the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use the following locator strategy:

• Using XPATH:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//label[contains(., 'Address')]//following::div[1]/input[starts-with(@id, 'input') and contains(@class, 'form-control-alternative')]"))).send_keys("PermataIndah")
  

• Note: You have to add the following imports :

  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
