Click on not fully visible imageButton with Espresso

Question

I have a custom ImageButton that is not fully visible, by design, so when I perform a click action I get this error:

android.support.test.espresso.P         


        

Answer 1

Create your own ViewAction class without view visibility constraints:

 public static ViewAction myClick() {

    return new ViewAction() {
        @Override
        public Matcher getConstraints() {
            return ViewMatchers.isEnabled(); // no constraints, they are checked above
        }

        @Override
        public String getDescription() {
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        public void perform(UiController uiController, View view) {
            view.performClick();
        }
    };

}

Then to use it:

onView(withId(R.id.your_view_id)).perform(myClick());
