The red box contains the button i want to access using driverI am new to this, but as far as i have searched there isn't a generic manner to click the side bars of your application.
I am currently trying to test Piazza application(for College Assignment). Firstly there isn't any resource_id for menu/list items, the methods I have tried aren't working for me. Can anyone please guide me regarding selection of such buttons appearing on the side bar
All the lines commented are existing solutions online which i have already tried.
@BeforeSuite
public void setupAppium() throws MalformedURLException {
final String URL_STRING = "http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub";
url = new URL(URL_STRING);
capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME,"Android Device");
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, "/Users/nomi/Desktop/piazza.apk");
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NO_RESET, true);
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, "UiAutomator2");
driver = new AndroidDriver<MobileElement>(url, capabilities);
driver.resetApp();
}
@Test ( enabled=true) public void logIn() throws InterruptedException {
driver.findElement(By.id("com.piazza.android:id/Login_editText_email")).sendKeys("[email protected]");
driver.findElement(By.id( "com.piazza.android:id/Login_editText_password")).sendKeys("viscabarca");
driver.findElement(By.id( "com.piazza.android:id/Login_button_login" )).click();
}
@Test (enabled=true) public void getList() throws InterruptedException {
//driver.findElementsByAccessibilityId("Open navigation drawer").get(0).click();
//driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
//driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@content-desc='"+"Open drawer"+"']")).click();
// driver.manage().timeouts().wait(2);
// driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(3, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
//driver.findElement(By.id( "com.piazza.android:id/AddClassMenu_addButton" )).click();
//List<MobileElement> list = driver.findElements(By.id("com.piazza.android:id/list"));
//list.get(0).click();
// System.out.print(list.size());
//List nameOfList = driver.findElements(By.id("id of relative layout"));
List<MobileElement> list = driver.findElements(By.id("com.piazza.android:id/list"));
//list.get(0).click();
System.out.print(list.size());
}
}
The list.size() in get list function returns size=0 it executes before the login function. I used the depends on keyword but it still returns 0. Furthermore, I don't know what list is being fetched by this id.
Since there is content desc in the element, you can access the element using findElementByAccessibilityId().
driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("Open Navigation drawer")click();
I suggest you to use Appium Desktop Inspector instead of uiautomatorviewer. It will show you any unique id of the element as well as xpath.
