fill_in with empty string does not call addEventListener('input') #238
Description
Hello!
I'm testing cuprite to replace chromedriver in our test suite and I've noticed a weird behaviour using fill_in :element, with: ''.
When doing this in an input text it does not fire the event input.
I have the following JS code:
input.addEventListener('input', (e) => {
console.log("Hello")
})
Never called when the input is filled with empty string.

I appear to be seeing the same behavior here on my end

Fixed in #336 (same bug as #164): clearing a non-empty text field with
fill_in "field", with: ""now dispatches aninputevent (inputType: "deleteContentBackward") beforechange. It will ship in the next release; until then you can usemain.
