I have a script to monitor the Notifications screen page.
I can open it via "Culebra" option "UiDevice" -> "Open Notifications".
The notifications error message from some apps have starting characters which are changing, only a constant pattern like "error for" is common but located at different position of the TextView error messages.
Therefore I can't use a regex with the method findViewWithText(regex) as it seems to use a regex match() instead of regex search(). Another solution for my problem is to use traverse() method with my own transform method which can do a regex search() of the view attribute text, but I can't figure out how to pass a parameter like a regex to my own transform method!?
This works for me to touch on a notification with text USB debugging connected:
vc.findViewWithTextOrRaise(re.compile('.*USB.*'), root=vc.findViewByIdOrRaise('id/no_id/3')).touch()
vc.sleep(_s)
notice this is a modified culebra script, that's why findViewWithTextOrRaise() is using the root argument to limit the search to the subtree which may not be needed in all cases, but it's safer to use.
It's worth to mention, that this works too
vc.findViewWithTextOrRaise(re.compile('.*debugging.*'), root=vc.findViewByIdOrRaise('id/no_id/3')).touch()
