Add possibility to clear text input fields or do it automatically with new type

[MasterSergius]

Current logic adds text with each new type when I use user fixture in testing like the following:

user.find("my_input").type("text1")  # contains "text1"
user.find("my_input").type("text2")  # contains "text1text2"

It would be good to have a clear method, or flag in type or whatever...

Thanks for bringing this up @MasterSergius! You can do this right now with user.find('my_input').elements.pop().set_value(''). But it would be great if you could call user.find(...).clear() to empty every ValueElement. I'll prepare a pull request.

cool
Imho, pop is not safe here, so I use the following workaround so far:

input_interaction = user.find("my_input")
for elem in input_interaction.elements:
   elem.value = ""
input_interaction.type("text2")
