Can't find an element on a webview page of an iOS native app using Appium

问题

I have a native app which opens few web-view pages. I'm running appium on the app to do some automation test on a web-view page that I need to scroll down to find the username and password fields. I tried all the suggestion I can find online, and it doesn't work. Can anyone help? I'm running: Appium v1.3.5 iOS 8.1

Here is my code:

// switch to webview

Thread.sleep(6000);
final Set<String> contextNames = driver.getContextHandles();
for (final String contextName : contextNames) {
  System.out.println(contextName);
  if (contextName.contains("WEBVIEW")) {
    driver.context(contextName);
  }
}

Thread.sleep(6000);
WebElement x = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("Username *"));
assertTrue(x.isDisplayed());

Here is the element I try to scroll to and enter username

     <AppiumAUT>
       <UIAApplication name="Demo A" label="Demo A" value="" dom="" enabled="true" valid="true" visible="true" hint="" path="/0" x="0" y="24.125" width="375" height="642.1875">    
        <UIAWindow name="" label="" value="" dom="" enabled="true" valid="true" visible="true" hint="" path="/0/2" x="0" y="0.6875" width="375" height="665.625">
        <UIAScrollView name="" label="" value="" dom="" enabled="true" valid="true" visible="true" hint="" path="/0/2/1" x="29.296875" y="40.53125" width="316.40625" height="548.4375">
            <UIAWebView name="" label="" value="" dom="" enabled="true" valid="true" visible="false" hint="" path="/0/2/1/0" x="29.296875" y="40.53125" width="684.375" height="1170.703125">
                <UIAStaticText name="Username *" label="Username *" value="" dom="[object Object]" enabled="true" valid="true" visible="false" hint="" path="/0/2/1/0/15" x="94.921875" y="783.5" width="92.578125" height="22.265625">
                </UIAStaticText>
                <UIATextField name="" label="" value="" dom="[object Object]" enabled="true" valid="true" visible="false" hint="" path="/0/2/1/0/16" x="94.921875" y="811.625" width="604.6875" height="46.875">
                </UIATextField>

Here is the error message:

org.openqa.selenium.InvalidElementStateException: SyntaxError: DOM Exception   12 (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)Command duration or timeout: 22 milliseconds

I have tried the following and doesn't work:

1. switch to the window first using driver.switchTo().window("WEBVIEW_1");
2. use driver.findElement(By.id("Username *"))
3. use driver.findElement(By .xpath("//input[@name='Username *']"));
4. use driver.findElement(By .xpath("//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[3]/UIAScrollView[1]/UIAWebView[1]/UIAStaticText[14]"));

I also tried to scroll to it first:

1. use just scollto: driver.scrollTo("Username *");
2. `((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(
   • "arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", driver.findElement(By.name("Username *")));`

Error message are either NoSuchElement or the one above.

Please help! Thanks!

回答1:

I'd go for driver.findElement(By.xpath("//UIAStaticText[contains(@name,'Username')]")); Actually, all search methods for element location can be tested in Appium Inspector first to see if they work.

回答2:

if you test web app, you have to use web page locators. See my answers (corrected :) ) here: Unable to find an element in Browser of the Android emulator using Appium and C#
