I’m looking for help on strategies for debugging the following issue, assuming it’s not simply a failure in the UIAutomator2 server on the phone (in which case, we’ll defer migrating for now).
I’m moving our Ruby/Appium UIAutomator tests to UIAutomator2, but while they work for finding elements by ID and scrolling the screen, they fail when I try to use text_exact(‘Hide all’).click:
"An element could not be located on the page using the given search parameters.
This despite ‘Hide all’ being clearly displayed on the screen and available from $driver.get_source:
<android.widget.TextView index=\"1\" text=\"Hide all\" class=\"android.widget.TextView\" package=\"com.bumble.app\" content-desc=\"\" checkable=\"false\" checked=\"false\" clickable=\"true\" enabled=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" focused=\"false\" scrollable=\"false\" long-clickable=\"false\" password=\"false\" selected=\"false\" bounds=\"[48,421][1032,565]\" resource-id=\"android:id/text1\" instance=\"2\"/>
Our package.json requests “appium”: “1.6.3” and I found it necessary to post-install [email protected] into node_modules/appium or it would complain about not being able to find appium-uiautomator2-server-v0.0.8.apk. I also updated to npm install [email protected] in appium’s node_modules and [email protected]. With these and various combinations between those and the originals, I still get this:
Appium’s log shows the mysterious translation from ‘using/value’ to ‘strategy/selector’:

Any ideas? Should I report this as a bug?
