I have a scenario. I am using iOS. The contacts are listed in a table as cells. Each cell, i.e. each contact can be swiped to left and on swiping to left, a delete button appears. However, the delete button is some times captured and sometimes it isn’t. The button also has identifiers.
Any help in this?
If you call the getSource function of your driver, is the button present there?
This might be a timing issue, you should wait to make sure the button is there.
I swipe the cell to left and two buttons, namely – ‘Delete’ and ‘More’ get visible on UI. Then I wait for 5 seconds and then I call the getSource. It’s still not present there. Am I doing something wrong?
If it’s not present there, then even Apple UIAutomation isn’t aware of those buttons. That’s pretty strange but sounds like a bug in Instruments
The buttons aren’t in their own webview, are they?
No, they aren’t. Here’s the strange part – Appium inspector captures the element sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t. I haven’t been able to map any reason to this. However, my java script is never able to find the element.
I am also facing the same problem. Did it work?
No. However, the app design changed so this was no more a blocker for us.
