def send(self, message):
    try:
        textArea = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//textarea[@placeholder='Message...']")
        textArea.clear()
        self.driver.execute_script("arguments[0].value='"   message   "'", textArea) # Error right here
        textArea.send_keys(Keys.SPACE)
        sendButton = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[contains(text(), 'Send')]").click()

    except NoSuchElementException or StaleElementReferenceException as ex:
        print("Исключение в send()")
        print(ex)

selenium.common.exceptions.JavascriptException: Message: javascript error: Unexpected identifier

CodePudding user response：

You seem to be running into escaping troubles. If message contains a quote character, for example O'Hara, you'd end up with a syntax error in the executed JavaScript code:

arguments[0].value='O'Hara'
