Not Able to type In Username/Password Text field

Support
1

Hi Guys,

I am new with Appium and after wants to ask about an issue which I am facing.

I am using the remotewebdriver for launching the android application and it gets launched successfully.
So when I try to enter values in username and Password field it fails and return an error “An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)”

I had also used Assert to verify elements and it displayed elements.
issue is while entering values in text field. I had also attached my code below:

The code is as below:

public class gopageSigninTest{

WebDriver driver;
@BeforeClass
public void setUp() throws MalformedURLException{
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”, “Redmi”);
capabilities.setCapability(“platformVersion”, “6.0”);
capabilities.setCapability(“platformName”, “Android”);
capabilities.setCapability(“appPackage”, “com.gopage.android.GoPageClientApp”);
capabilities.setCapability(“appActivity”,“com.gopage.android.GoPageClientApp.activity.Splash”);
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”), capabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15,TimeUnit.SECONDS );
}

   @Test	
      public void signin() throws Exception{
          driver.findElement(By.id("email_field"));
       System.out.println("-----1----");
       Assert.assertTrue(driver.findElement(By.id("/email_field")).isDisplayed(), "element is not displayed");
	System.out.println("-----2----");
	driver.findElement(By.id("password_field"));
	System.out.println("-----3----");
	Assert.assertTrue(driver.findElement(By.id("password_field")).isDisplayed(), "element is not displayed");
	System.out.println("-----4----");
           WebElement email=driver.findElement(By.id("password_field"));	
	email.click();
	Thread.sleep(2000);
	email.sendKeys("abc");

        @AfterMethod	    
	public void closeApp() {	           
		driver.quit();	     
		}	
	
	}

Given your sample code block, did you see all four of the debug prints?
Is it failing at the click() or sendKeys()?

What happens if you try this at the beginning of signin():

driver.findElement(By.id(“email_field”)).click();
driver.findElement(By.id(“email_field”)).sendKeys(“abc”);

Same error?

Could you provide the appium server logs?

Hi,

If I try to click at beginning of signin() in Email field it returns same error as for entering value in username and Password field.
Below I had copied the appium logs:

As you are automating an android app, perhaps try to use the AndroidDriver instead of RemoteWebDriver, e.g.:

AppiumDriver<MobileElement> driver = new AndroidDriver<MobileElement>(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”), capabilities);

and instead of using WebElement, try MobileElement, e.g.

MobileElement email=driver.findElement(By.id(“email_field”));
email.click();
email.sendKeys(“abc”);

I was taking a look at some of my android test logs and noticed that the debug logs were slightly different around setText.
e.g., my logs:

info: [AndroidBootstrap] [BOOTSTRAP LOG] [debug] Got command of type ACTION
info: [AndroidBootstrap] [BOOTSTRAP LOG] [debug] Got command action: setText
info: [AndroidBootstrap] [BOOTSTRAP LOG] [debug] Using element passed in: 22

Your logs:

info: [debug] [BOOTSTRAP] [debug] Got command of type ACTION
info: [debug] [BOOTSTRAP] [debug] Got command action: setText
info: [debug] [BOOTSTRAP] [debug] Using element passed in.

I’m curious if the lack of a specified element in the last line is causing the issue with setText.

What version of appium are you using?

i suggest to use better email.setValue(“xx”) or email.replaceValue(“xxx”) - it is working with Android also same as iOS.

Also pls mention your Appium and Java-client version

Hi BG,

I modified my script as per your feedback as shown below and while executing using TestNG it is returning an error.

Modified Script :

public class gopageSigninTest{

AppiumDriver driver;

@BeforeMethod	
public void setUp() throws MalformedURLException{		
//Set up desired capabilities and pass the Android app-activity and app-package to Appium		
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();		
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Redmi");		
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "6.0"); 		
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");		
capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.gopage.android.GoPageClientApp");	
// This package name of your app (you can get it from apk info app)	
capabilities.setCapability("appActivity","com.gopage.android.GoPageClientApp.activity.Splash"); 	
//Create RemoteWebDriver instance and connect to the Appium server	
//It will launch the GoPage App in Android Device using the configurations specified in Desired Capabilities	
driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);	
		
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15,TimeUnit.SECONDS );
}	
	
@Test	
public void signin() throws Exception{	
driver.findElement(By.id("email_field"));
System.out.println("-----1----");
Assert.assertTrue(driver.findElement(By.id("email_field")).isDisplayed(), "element is not displayed");
System.out.println("-----2----");
driver.findElement(By.id("password_field"));
System.out.println("-----3----");
Assert.assertTrue(driver.findElement(By.id("password_field")).isDisplayed(), "element is not displayed");
System.out.println("-----4----");
    MobileElement email= (MobileElement) driver.findElement(By.id("email_field"));	
email.click();
Thread.sleep(2000);
email.sendKeys("abc");
    }	      
	
@AfterMethod	    
public void closeApp() {	           
driver.quit();	     
}	
}

Result after Running via TestNG :

Hi Alek and BG,

My Appium version is “1.4.13.1”

Java-Client version is “5.0.0-BETA2”

Also if I try to run using JUnit test then also it returns an error of “Java.lang.NullPointerException”

8

show us your TestNG XML file you trying to start :slight_smile:

Alek,

Please see the attachment

10

does not look bad. according to your logs it look like it does not start test itself

11

What I can do more to fix this issue?

12

can you share source somewhere maybe this helps to understand your issue…

13

Are you sure you are using the Test annotation from TestNG and not JUnit?
I wonder if that is causing the Test to not run.

Sharing the source code would help

14

I used Thread.sleep in my script and it worked fine.

Thanks a lot guys for your help. :slight_smile:
