Python Bindings with Appium 1.3.4
I’m trying to use a WebDriverWait by holding for a “Complete” string to appear in the ‘value’ attribute of the element. The element name changes once complete, so I can’t use By.NAME to locate the element.
When using the By.ID locator, the script throws a TimeOutException waiting on the value to change to ‘Complete’. After inspection of the Appium logs, it looks like the value is never fetched.
Here is the code:
Calling Function:
wait_for_element_value(driver, table_cell.id, 'Complete', 20)
WebDriverWait Function:
def wait_for_element_value(driver, element_id, text, wait_time=5):
return WebDriverWait(driver, wait_time).until(
EC.text_to_be_present_in_element_value((By.ID, element_id)), text)
Appium Log Snippet:

It looks like the element is never found by the ID?
I’m pretty sure I’m implementing the By.ID method incorrectly, can anyone shed some light on this for me?
