try setting opacity of element before sending keys. net explorer, particularly iedriverserver, sensitive invisible elements , won't send keys until can see it.

this tell selenium utilize js show element before trying send keys it, fixed issue me in python:

file_input = webdriver.find_element_by_id("thing") webdriver.execute_script("arguments[0].style.opacity = '1';", file_input)
