Not able to enter complete text in text field in IOS

Yashi · February 18, 2020, 9:22am

Hi,

I am testing IOS browser app by automation testing using python appium .

I am facing problem in entering text in a text field where I have to enter expiry date in debit card payment method. For example, I want to enter “02/23” in expiry date text box, what happens when manually done is, when i write “02” after that automatically slash is coming and then i am entering “23”. But when doing the same through automation, I am able to enter “02” after that slash is coming but after that i am not able to enter “23” in the text field. The step is passing without any error, but it is not entering the complete value because of which the test case is failing.

Appium Version: 1.15.1
IOS Simuator Version: 11.0

Things I have tried:

I have tried giving some wait after entering “02” , but that is not working.
Tried using “set_value” instead of “send_keys”, not working.

Below is the screenshot:

Can anyone tell, how to make it work.

Try to switch to the native context, locate the corresponding numeric buttons on the native keyboard and tap them

Aleksei · February 18, 2020, 10:57am

try also TAP on this field before sending input value

Yashi · February 18, 2020, 11:36am

Hi @mykola-mokhnach,

I have used below code and it is not working:

driver.context(“NATIVE_APP”)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//[@text=‘0’]").click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//[@text=‘2’]").click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//[@text=‘2’]").click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//[@text=‘3’]").click()
driver.context(“NATIVE_APP_INSTRUMENTED”)

is it correct?

Yashi · February 18, 2020, 12:32pm

Hi @Aleksei,

I have tried below code:

element=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@placeholder=‘MM/YY’]")
touch_actions=TouchActions(driver)
touch_actions.tap(element).perform()
element.send_keys(“20”)
touch_actions=TouchActions(driver)
touch_actions.tap(element).perform()
element.send_keys(“23”)

It is not working.

Aleksei · February 18, 2020, 12:45pm

did keyboard appeared after tap? it is important cause “sendKeys” uses REAL keyboard.

Yashi · February 18, 2020, 1:00pm

No @Aleksei, Keyboard did not appear after tap.

Actually keyboard is not appearing in any of the text entering step, but all steps are passing except this expiry date.

Aleksei · February 18, 2020, 1:14pm

in your situation i will try to solve it:

make tap to appear keyboard. by element / by X,Y / … somehow to appear keyboard
with keyboard:

driver.getKeyboard().sendKeys("text");

this is pure 100% like user does behavior.

Yashi · March 2, 2020, 11:09am

After setting ‘connectHardwareKeyboard’ capability to ‘false’, keyboard is appearing.

Then I tried:
driver.getKeyboard().sendKeys(“text”);…but still it is not working.

I tried with set_value also but it is not working.

In normal text box, I am able to enter text, but in expiry date text field , one slash is coming automatically , because of that only first two digits are getting inserted not the last two.

Aleksei · March 2, 2020, 1:27pm

maybe it needed tap “Next” or “Done” button on keyboard to switch next…

adithya_ADI · June 11, 2021, 3:05pm

@Aleksei., how to do getKeyboard() in python ?
