[🐛 Bug]: Documentation test example - Severity 4

[thecircleoflifefree]

What happened?

On the following link:
example

This code will not run:

`const {Builder, By, Key, until} = require('selenium-webdriver');

(async function example() {
let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('firefox').build();
try {
await driver.get('http://www.google.com/ncr');
await driver.findElement(By.name('q'));.sendKeys('webdriver', Key.RETURN);
await driver.wait(until.titleIs('webdriver - Google Search'), 1000);
} finally {
await driver.quit();
}
})();`

Line 7 will return:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'

FIX

Remove ';' to use the sendKeys method accordingly.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Copy/Paste the code as given on the website and test.

Relevant log output

testfile.js:7
    await driver.findElement(By.name('q'));.sendKeys('webdriver', Key.RETURN);
                                           ^

Those api documents are out of date and we can't fix them #10185
@diemol can we just remove what is there now to avoid confusion?

@thecircleoflifefree just remove the semicolon before the period,or doesn't belong there.

Check out the examples in our website https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/getting_started/?tab=javascript

[diemol]

Sure, we should remove them.

[titusfortner]

Lol, and I did extra work on the build automaton to not overwrite them.

[diemol]

I mean, I have the JS docs in my TODO list, I can then work on it so you do not need to modify your scripts.

[titusfortner]

Current scripts work either way, just have more lines of code. 😄
