Hello Community,

I’m trying to use the appium-espresso-driver rewrite our native espresso-tests with Appium.  
But I’m struggling with locating elements, though.

I have the following action in Kotlin which I would like to implement with Appium:

```
        composeTestRule.onNodeWithTag("onboarding/next")
           .assertIsDisplayed()
           .assertHasClickAction()
           .performClick()

```

Does anyone have an idea how this action would look like with appium java-client?  
I was already able to start the app and an instrumented espresso-server with with the following capability:

```
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, AutomationName.ESPRESSO);

```

When I try to locate the element, however, I receive an androidx.test.espresso.NoMatchingViewException

I’m very thankful for any support.

Currently [sravanmedarapu](https://github.com/appium/appium-espresso-driver/commits?author=sravanmedarapu) and [rajdeepv](https://github.com/appium/appium-espresso-driver/commits?author=rajdeepv) are working on the topic. It’s still in progress, but it is already possible to try something out of it in appium@beta.
