Question

I want to access and click react-native button using xpath. I'm using Appium framework for automation testing and running android emulator.

below is my code:

React-native element:

<Button onPress={ ()=>{this.onPress , Alert.alert("Button Clicked")}}
     title  = "Sign in"
     color="blue"   />

Appium Test File:

expect(await driver.elementsByXPath("//android.widget.TextView[@text=\'Sign in']")).click();

Answer 1

I'm using following code with webdriver.io

const webdriverio = require('webdriverio');
const client = await webdriverio.remote(androidOptions); // you have to specify your android options

const element = await client.findElement('xpath', "//android.widget.TextView[@text='Sign in']");
await client.elementClick(element.ELEMENT);
