NoMethodError: undefined method `switch_to'

I am trying to automate a hybrid mobile app and I have been reading around and to automate a hybrid app I need to be using both the webview and native view.

Currently using appium_lib in conjunction with Ruby and Cucumber. I run @driver.available_contexts and I get => ["NATIVE_APP", "WEBVIEW_59846.1"].

However when I try and switch to the webview @driver.switch_to.context(webview) I get the following error message 

NoMethodError: undefined method `switch_to' for #<Appium::Driver:0x007f9c4f236958>

Can somebody please advise where I am going wrong? will I need a specific gem for this method?

Solution

  • As the error points out, there is no switch_to method in Appium::Driver class.

    I think you are looking for set_context method:

    @driver.set_context(webview)

    This assumes that webview has been set with the proper value (i.e. webview = "WEBVIEW_59846.1").
