How do I iterate and Input value multiple List<WebElement> in selenium /Java

Question

I have the following WebElement List in a page

@FindBy(xpath="a")
private List<WebElement> generalList ;
@FindBy(xpath="b")
private List<WebElement> eventList ;
@FindBy(xpath="c")
private List<WebElement> additionalList ;

I want to iterate each of the above list items and input values through a loop

Example

Generalist

Last Name: last name (input field)

First Name: First Name (input field)

AdditionalList

Address : Adress (input field)

Zip :11423 (input field)

I have tried the following

generalList.stream().forEach(elem -> elem.sendkeys("last name"," First Name"));

Its entering lastnameFirstname in each input field.

Last Name: lastnameFirstname

First Name: lastnameFirstname

Your code already iterates the list and enters data in each element.

Honestly, this is not a good way to do this. I'm guessing you might think this is more efficient or whatever but it just makes it more confusing. Just .sendKeys() to Last Name, then First Name, and so on. Doing it this way makes it more clear what you are trying to do.

Actually you are looping through WebElement and provide same value during sendKeys() that's why you are getting same output which is absolutely correct. You need to loop through value which you want to set on input field instead as below :-

String[] names = {"Last Name", "First Name"};
IntStream.range(0, names.length).forEach(idx -> generalList.get(idx).sendKeys(names[idx]));
