Selenium is able to findElement which were located under flex box but not able to perform any actions on those elements. Below I am providing couple of sample websites for detailed understanding,

<div class="col-3"><input id="sliderValue" class="form-control" value="25"></div>
</div>Code:
driver.get("https://demoqa.com/slider");
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
WebElement slider = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='range']"));
System.out.println("Cuurent value: " + slider.getAttribute("value"));
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].setAttribute('value', ' 30 ')", slider);
Result: Printed attribute value but didn't set the new value.
Few SO questions and blogs are suggesting to use Selenium flex api to automate these these type of applications but I can see a pre-requiste to install flex plugin for eclipse and I cannot find that. Also, these post are little old (5 years old).
