I have a webview in an ios app that basically has no id or class. (I know, right?) But it does have a textContent field that I would like to use to select elements.
This is the element I want to find:
{"rect"=>
{"center_x"=>307.5,
"left"=>295,
"bottom"=>136,
"right"=>320,
"top"=>93,
"width"=>25,
"height"=>43,
"center_y"=>178.5},
"nodeName"=>"LI",
"id"=>"",
"textContent"=>"!!! I WANT TO FIND IT BY THIS !!!",
"center"=>{"X"=>307.5, "Y"=>178.5},
"nodeType"=>"ELEMENT_NODE",
"webView"=>
"<UIWebView: 0xe2e1400; frame = (0 0; 320 504); clipsToBounds = YES; autoresize = W+H
"class"=>"arrow",
"html"=>"<div class=\"arrow\"></div>"}
So I was able to find this using css pseudo-selectors alá
query("webView css:'el:first-child'")
I can find it by using the hashes in the results array alá
query("webView css:'li'").select {|element| element["textContent"] == "!!! I WANT TO FIND IT BY THIS !!!}
And I can refactor it a bit to use a regex alá
query("webView css:'li'").select {|element| element["textContent"] =~ /I WANT/}
But all this feels really dirty. Very un-Calabashy. Is there a better way to write this?
I have not tried your exact setup. But I do often use queries with the LIKE comparison on label. Would that solve your problem?
ex. element_exists("label {text LIKE 'I WANT TO FIND'}")
