How to test DatePickerIOS

I need to enter a day using the native IOS DatePicker. How do I spin the control wheel to a certain value that might not be in the view, since this starts out with the current date?

enter image description here

Solution

  • Detox 7.3.x supports interaction with iOS UIPickerView. Match UIPickerView by type, and interact with it.

    await expect(element(by.type('UIPickerView'))).toBeVisible();
await element(by.type('UIPickerView')).setColumnToValue(1,"6");
await element(by.type('UIPickerView')).setColumnToValue(2,"34");
