How to support tab button by resource id instead of text on Firebase Robo Test

I am using Firebase Robo script test now.
I found out the robo script would failed because robo script recorded the text of button I clicked instead of the resource id.
When I want to i18n test, it would failed in other language.
Anyway to prevent this ?

Solution

  • By default the recorded Robo script will contain ids, text and contentDescriptions of elements. When this script gets used all specified fields need to match. There are 2 ways around this:

    a) Manually remove the elementDescriptors fields from the script that you don't want to be used for matching.

    b) There's an option in Android Studio that allows you to disable the recording of text and contentDescription fields. Go to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Espresso Test Recorder and uncheck both "Use text for element matching" and "Use content description for element matching". Afterwards re-record the Robo script. It should no longer contain text and contentDescription fields in the elementDescriptors array.
