Calabash for Cordova Android app on AWS Device Farm, correct webview name?

Question

I'm running into trouble trying to write Calabash tests for a Cordova application. webView and cordovaWebView do not work for me locally or on AWS.

---

Code variation that does work locally when I run against a device:

Then(/^I entered text "(.*?)" into input with id "(.*?)"$/) do |arg1, arg2|
    enter_text("SystemWebView css:'##{arg2}'", arg1)
end

However, on AWS it gives me this error:

map SystemWebView css:'#login-email', query failed because: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.ClassCastException: sh.calaba.instrumentationbackend.actions.webview.CalabashChromeClient cannot be cast to org.apache.cordova.engine.SystemWebChromeClient (RuntimeError) (RuntimeError) ./features/step_definitions/calabash_steps.rb:8:in /^I entered text "(.*?)" into input with id "(.*?)"$/' features/login.feature:7:inThen I entered text "test@tester" into input with id "login-email"'

Another code variation I tried, hoping it would work on AWS Device Farm:

Then(/^I entered text "(.*?)" into input with id "(.*?)"$/) do |arg1, arg2|
    enter_text("CalabashChromeClient css:'##{arg2}'", arg1)
end

But that too gives me an error: Timeout waiting for elements: CalabashChromeClient css:'#login-email' (Calabash::Android::WaitHelpers::WaitError)

---

With cordovaWebView, I get the following error:

Timeout waiting for elements: cordovaWebView css:'#login-email' (Calabash::Android::WaitHelpers::WaitError)

---

I figured out the correct webview name to run locally by playing around in the console. When it comes to AWS Device Farm, I'm a little blind here and would appreciate all hints/tips you guys can offer. I'm also open to switching test frameworks.

From AWS support: "They've been able to reproduce your issue and are looking into this further. For now, I can tell you this doesn't work currently and may be something we have to push into a feature request to add the functionality. If that is the case, it may take some time for them to implement the functionality." -- Oct 22, 2015
