I am automating a JS process running on a web page. If I click 'ESC key', my main page loads. I am trying to automate using Robot Framework and Python. I checked Press Key \27 but its not working. Can someone please point me how to handle it.

  • Did you press and release it?

  • Yes, manually if I press and release 'ESC' key, it works. I am trying to find the equivalent python statement. Commented Jul 23, 2018 at 22:42

I tried your resolutions but didn't work for me. I am using Selenium2library. Commented Sep 23, 2021 at 15:35

If you are using SeleniumLibrary with Robot framework, then you use the Press Keys keyword for send ESC key on the currently active browser. If you use the excel format editor, then

Press Keys | None | ESC

OR if you are using the Text editor, then

Press Keys    None    ESC

Let me know if this worked for you.
