How to input value in code mirror using selenium web driver?

Question

I'm currently facing an issue related to input values in code mirror (FYI: input is html code)

Any help much appreciated!!

This is what i was doing so far (but i need to insert values in each line of code mirror)

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
Js.executeScript("arguments[0].CodeMirror.setValue(\"" + value + "\");", driver.findElementBy(By.id("id")));

Page source code is:

<div class="CodeMirror cm-s-default">
<div style="overflow: hidden; position: relative; width: 3px; height: 0px; top: 5px; left: 35px;">
<textarea wrap="off" style="position: absolute; padding: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1em; outline: medium none;" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" spellcheck="false" tabindex="0"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="CodeMirror-vscrollbar" cm-not-content="true" style="min-width: 18px;">
<div style="min-width: 1px; height: 0px;"></div>
</div>
<div class="CodeMirror-hscrollbar" cm-not-content="true" style="min-height: 18px;">
<div style="height: 100%; min-height: 1px; width: 0px;"></div>
</div>
<div class="CodeMirror-scrollbar-filler" cm-not-content="true"></div>
<div class="CodeMirror-gutter-filler" cm-not-content="true"></div>
<div class="CodeMirror-scroll" tabindex="-1" draggable="true">
<div class="CodeMirror-sizer" style="margin-left: 30px; margin-bottom: 0px; border-right-width: 30px; min-height: 31px; min-width: 7px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;">
<div style="position: relative; top: 0px;">
<div class="CodeMirror-lines">
<div style="position: relative; outline: medium none;">
<div class="CodeMirror-measure">
<span>
<span></span>
x
</span>
</div>
<div class="CodeMirror-measure"></div>
<div style="position: relative; z-index: 1;"></div>
<div class="CodeMirror-cursors">
<div class="CodeMirror-cursor" style="left: 4px; top: 0px; height: 22.85px;"> </div>
</div>
<div class="CodeMirror-code">
<div style="position: relative;">
<div class="CodeMirror-gutter-wrapper" style="left: -30px;">
<div class="CodeMirror-linenumber CodeMirror-gutter-elt" style="left: 0px; width: 21px;">1</div>
</div>
<pre class=" CodeMirror-line ">
<span>
<span cm-text=""></span>
</span>
</pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

So the problem is how to input value in different lines in code mirror..

'input values are html code' - dont you think write this html Would be bad idea? — kotoj

Your question is not very clear but I think what you are looking for is to insert text into different lines instead of all on one line. If that's the case, you need to insert \n in your string where you want carriage returns.

An example string would be string sample = "<html>\n <test>\n</html>" which should produce

<html>
  <test>
</html>

I can't see your code so I can't help you. Have you googled "unterminated string literal" and found common causes and examined your code for any of those causes?
