Hi,
I’ve a screen, on which there is onscreen keyboard enabled all the time. Behind keyboard there is UIATextField, where users enters some code and after it’s validated. Appium inspector finds that element, when I check “Show invisible”. I can also access this element, when I run app using arc command, and then execute find_element, with providing correct xpath (and send_keys(“1111”) on it). However, problem occurs when I want to send_keys to that UIATextField from test, I wrote. It works randomly, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. I put that command in wait {find_element(:xpath, "path").send_keys("1111")}. I’ve checked server log (which I run using node . command). When it runs correctly there is following stack:

when it’s not working stack is following

and I got following error
Failure/Error: newcard.enter_card_details_button.click
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError:
elementId 9 could not be tapped
# ./spec/navigation_spec.rb:31:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>’
newcard.enter_card_details_button.click is just next step in test scenario, that required next screen so obviously appium can’t tap that button. However, I’m surprised it does not throw an error regarding my current step, which I’m having trouble with. Do you have idea what am I doing wrong or where to look for an error?
