appium ios - found text element on screen that can start with "a" or "A"

Im running APPIUM Automation for IOS.

I set element to click on it like this :

SerchField = (MobileElement)driver.findElement(By.xpath("//XCUIElementTypeCell[contains(@name,'"+ContactName+"')]"));

ContactName = "abcdef"

But in the mobile screen the contact name show is "Abcdef" so i get an error message that element cannot be found

how can i change the xpath so he will found the element even if the string start with "A" or "a" ?

Thanks !

Solution

  • I assume you're using Java.

    Using XPATH logical or

    Here @name shoud match any of abcdef, Abcdef.

    ContactName = "abcdef";
String contactNameCapitalized = ContactName.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + ContactName.substring(1);
String serchFieldxpath = "//XCUIElementTypeCell[(contains(@name,'"+ContactName+"')) or (contains(@name,'"+contactNameCapitalized+"'))]";

SerchField = (MobileElement)driver.findElement(By.xpath(serchFieldxpath));

    Using XPATH translate

    This translates all upper-case characters to lower-case. ContactName also should be lowercase.

    ContactName = "abcdef";
SerchField = (MobileElement)driver.findElement(By.xpath("//XCUIElementTypeCell[contains(translate(@name,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'),'"+ContactName+"')]"));
