Hello, everybody. I’m new on appium, and I’m trying to make it works on a react-native app. I’m following this tutorial: https://medium.com/front-end-hacking/how-to-do-end-to-end-e2e-testing-for-react-native-android-using-jest-and-appium-27d75e4d831b but I find some issues.
I’m trying to find an element with accessibilityLabel="testview" but when I execute the code, I can’t find this element. So, I put the command console.log(await driver.source()); to see xml code and even with the app opened on the emulator, I get this code which I suspect is from android home page. The xml is:
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><hierarchy rotation=\"0\"><android.widget.FrameLayout index=\"0\" text=\"\" class=\"android.widget.FrameLayout\" package=\"com.android.launcher3\"

My test code is:
import wd from 'wd';
jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = 60000;
const PORT = 4723;
const config = {
platformName: 'Android',
deviceName: 'Android Emulator',
app: './android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk', // relative to root of project
appPackage: 'com.example.android',
appActivity: 'com.example.MainActivity'
};
const driver = wd.promiseChainRemote('localhost', PORT);
beforeAll(async () => {
await driver.init(config);
await driver.sleep(8000); // wait for app to load
})
test('appium renders', async () => {
console.log(await driver.source());
expect(await driver.hasElementByAccessibilityId('testview')).toBe(true);
});
Does anyone knows why I’m getting this xml code instead the xml code from my app? There is any configuration that is wrong? I am using genymotion android emulator and the uiautomator.
