Here is a challenging task , I am testing a website on chrome on Android platform , Here is what is wanted to know
I used Android UI Automatior and then used the properties of elements shown like resource id , content desc etc but they dint work , so is it that Mobile Elements doesnt work on mobile browser ?
I tried developing xpath and used the type as WebElement and it started working , but since i am working on chrome is there any way that i can validate the xpath ? like in firebug , firepath etc , It is consuming lot of time as i have to run the code everytime to test the element ( using chrome inspect devices to get the xml )
So pleae suggest me on how to proceed with quick automation , like should i type cast the mobile Element or does mobile element doesnt work at all on chrome? , need some suggestion for autoimating websited on mobile browser . Urgent help needed
First you have to transfer the control from native to Webview then using chrome remote debugger you can inspect webview elements and perform any action on it.
I am able to identify web elements from chrome remote debugger , but my point is how can i evaluate that the xpath i obtained is correct,
For example in firefox firebug/ firepath etc we can evaluate the xpath but how to do the same in Chrome, there s no such toolk, and i dont want absolute xpath i would need relative xpaths
