Description

Hello,

In my app, I have a airDatePicker from shinywidget library. I would like to interact with the picker via shinytest2 to set the dates.
Unfortunately, the recorder method uses set_inputs and it does not seem to change the values within the date picker.

app$set_window_size(width = 1619, height = 891)
# Update output value
app$set_inputs(`app-cnvminmax` = c("2022-12-01T00:00:00+02:00", "2022-12-08T00:00:00+02:00"))

I think I would have to interact with it with real javascript. Has anyone already tried to interact with shinywidgets or with airDatePicker in particular?

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the shown app$set_inputs call and the app-cnvminmax input. Start by comparing shinytest2's set_inputs behavior with the airDatePicker widget, including whether real JavaScript interaction is required. Done means the date picker values update to the requested date range.
