XCUIElementQuery.matching(identifier:) is not working for UIImageView

I'm trying to implement a very simple test, but I'm stuck with XCUIElementQuery.matching(identifier:) method. I think querying UIImageViews is not working as expected, but not sure why.

I have these two settings set for views:

  1. Label:Label with Accessibility enabled with id: 'label'
  2. UIImageView:UIImageView with Accessibility enabled with id: 'accept'

And I have this test:

func testRecording() {
    XCTAssertEqual(app.staticTexts.matching(identifier: "label").count, 2)
    XCTAssertEqual(app.images.matching(identifier: "accept").count, 1)
}

where I'm querying for these two views (Label with id label and UIImageView with id accept). From here: app is simply defined as class property like this: let app = XCUIApplication().

So, this is what screen looks like: Table with 2 items

This means that this test should pass since there are two staticTexts with id label and one image with id accept on screen. staticTexts are being successfully queried, but it is failing when matching(identifier:) tries to query image with id accept: Test failing on image with id 'accept'

I tried to query with many things, like:

  • app.images.
  • app.tables.
  • app.tables.images.
  • app.tables.cells.images.
  • app.buttons. (also marked as Button in Traits part of the Accessibility settings)
  • app.staticTexts. (also marked as Static Text in Traits part of the Accessibility settings)

but no luck... Is there anything that I'm doing wrong here, or missing something?

Solution

  • OK, since I'm in the QA team, I haven't looked much to the dev code. But when I did, I found the answer.

    UIImageView that is used for displaying check mark is never being used from .xib file, but instead is always allocated a new instance like this:

    indicatorView = UIImageView(image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "arrow_marked_ok_small"))

    meaning that new accessibility options are set with initializer call, so that old UIImageView instance that has accessibility options from .xib file I posted in first two images is being overridden.
