I am learning robot framework and all I'm trying is to search for a video but i get stuck on inserting text in search bar, with error:
InvalidElementStateException: Message: Unable to clear element that cannot be edited:
(Error occurs in the very last line of below code)
More specific, I am trying to open Youtube in firefox, (accept the cookies) and then click on search bar, it clicks but the text is not inserted.
what i managed until now:

click element xpath://*[@id="search-form"]
clear element text xpath://*[@id="search"]
input text xpath://*[@id="search"] rick roll 10 hours
I tried all kind of IDs around that search bar but nothing works... Thank you in advance!
Replace your last line with this code: input text xpath://input[@id="search"] rick roll 10 hours
Remove this line no need to clear: clear element text xpath://*[@id="search"]
Below is my working code
