Error:javascript error: missing ) after argument list

Answer 1

You have already located the element as datedelete as follows:

WebElement  datedelete = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='mat-input-0']"));

You just need to pass the WebElement as an argument:

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].removeAttribute('readonly')", datedelete);
