Clicking on webelement on hybrid app doesn't work

Support

Hi,

Although the problem is in webdriver , but it’s being used with Appium , so … :slight_smile:

//click on Button
public void clickOn(String buttonName){
    try {
        WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("login_button")); //should be switched to name instead of text
        element.click();

    } catch (NoSuchElementException ex){
        System.err.println("The element with name : couldn't be located --> " + ex.getMessage());
    }
}

This is the code, the webelement is being found , and being clicked, appium logs are :

But still , nothing happens , it seems that the webdriver doesn’t work properly …
Any ideas how to solve it ?

thanks !

Have you tried switching contexts and accessing the elements via HTML? See this potentially related post in case it helps: Mobile: scrollTo fails in iOS hybrid webview

Hi @Christopher_Graham ,
Maybe I forgot to mention it , but I’ve been using WEBVIEW after I’ve switched context …

My problem is the click() operation , I do able to find the webview element but once I execute the click() method , nothing happens although I’m getting ‘200’ OK code from appium server.
