Here is some problem with Appium’s getting of XML.
We have iOS native app with Sign Up page (part of page is on the picture).
I have scenario: need to click on Submit button and verify that red error messages appear on the screen.
When I perform this scenario manually - after appearing of this errors I can click on ‘Copy XML’ in Appium inspector and error messages are presented in XML file. Everything is fine.
But when I do the same steps programatically - error messages are absent in XML. I was trying to do the same steps 10 times and each time errors are absent in XML but they are visible on the screen.
After this I analysed - what the differences between manual clicking and Appium performing of scenario? The difference only 1: when I click manually - I don’t grab XML structure each time to locate an element.
So, I decided to implement the steps without any grabbing of XML, using direct UI Automation calls. And magic - it works!!!
So, the problem is that impossible to get such static error messages only in case if to grab XML before for the same page.
I’m sure that it’s a bug.
