Not able to write text in textview

[Mayur5712]

We are working on a game which contains textview. We are trying to append some text in that view. But we are getting error.

We are using below code to send text.

self.Driver.find_element('id', 'ConfigJSONKey').send_keys('TestWord')

But we are getting below error:

if you put your find/text in a retry loop with a sleep does it work eventually? it looks like you're encountering a stale element reference issue. i wonder if elements might be regenerating in a way which makes them inaccessible.
