I am trying to count the total elements of a recycler view in android appium using wd.js.
For this I am using the logic:
1.For the id get all elements displayed on the screen>>get each elements unique content description and save it to an array.
2.Swipe/scroll the screen >>save the element’s unique attribute to the array>>while total length of the array is not equal to the total count
I have written below code for this:
it(“Scroll and save offerid to offersPresent List”, function () {
while(offersPresent.length !== offersCount) {
return offersPOM.swipeNew(driver, function (err, res) { }).then(function () {
driver.elementsById(‘someId’).then(function (els) {
els.forEach(function (el) {
el.getAttribute(‘contentDescription’).then(function (offerId) {
//Here I check if the offerId is already there in the array or not
if (offersPresent.indexOf(offerId) === -1) {
offersPresent.push(offerId);
}
console.log(‘offersPresent’.green, offersPresent);
})
})
})
})
}
});
The swipNew function is:
exports.swipeNew = function (driver, callback) {
var action = new TouchAction(driver);
action
.press({ x: 17, y: 1500 })
.wait(2000)
.moveTo({ x: 17, y: 254 })
.release();
return action.perform().then(function (err, res) {
return callback(err, res);
})
};
The problem is no matter the condition, this loop only runs once. How to make this loop run till the while condition is satisfied?
