Currently using VS2019 with Xamarin.Forms version 4.2.0.848062 and doing a targeted build for Android 9.0. App works great, but testing has been a pain.
Issue right now is that I have some XAML looking like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms/design"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d"
x:Class="MyApp.Views.AddThingView"
Title="Add New Thing">
<ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
<ToolbarItem Text="Add" Clicked="Add_Thing" />
</ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
<ContentPage.Content>
<StackLayout>
<Label AutomationId="ThingName" Text="Thing Name" FontSize="24" VerticalOptions="Center"/>
<Entry Text="{Binding ThingName}" AutomationId="ThingNameEntry" Placeholder="Enter Name Here" VerticalOptions="Center" />
<Label AutomationId="ThingDescription" Text="Description" FontSize="24" VerticalOptions="Center" />
<Entry Text="{Binding Description}" AutomationId="ThingDescriptionEntry" Placeholder="Enter Description Here" VerticalOptions="Center" />
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>
My test then looks like this:
public void TestAddThing()
{
AppResult[] results = app.WaitForElement(c => c.Marked("Things"));
app.Screenshot("Welcome screen.");
Assert.AreEqual(results.Length, 1);
app.Tap(x => x.Class("ActionMenuItemView").Index(0)); //This navigates to the page for adding "things"
app.Repl(); //i when I do a "tree" in the repl() loop
app.EnterText("ThingNameEntry", "Thing 1");
app.EnterText(c => c.Marked("ThingDescriptionEntry"), "This is our first thing.");
}
The issue right now is that the app.EnterText(...) methods are not working (they time out and the runner complains it can't find an element marked as "ThingNameEntry" or "ThingDescriptionEntry".
When I do a 'tree' in the repl that the app spins up, I see the following:
[[object CalabashRootView] > DecorView]
[LinearLayout > FrameLayout]
[FitWindowsFrameLayout] id: "action_bar_root"
[ContentFrameLayout > ... > PlatformRenderer] id: "content"
[NavigationPageRenderer] id: "NoResourceEntry-1"
[PageContainer] id: "NoResourceEntry-10"
[PageRenderer > Platform_DefaultRenderer] id: "NoResourceEntry-5"
[LabelRenderer] id: "NoResourceEntry-6" text: "Thing Name"
[EntryRenderer]
[FormsEditText] id: "NoResourceEntry-7"
[LabelRenderer] id: "NoResourceEntry-8" text: "Description"
[EntryRenderer]
[FormsEditText] id: "NoResourceEntry-9"
[Toolbar] id: "toolbar"
[ActionMenuView]
[ActionMenuItemView] id: "NoResourceEntry-0" text: "Add"
[AppCompatTextView] text: "Add New Thing"
[AppCompatImageButton]
[View] id: "navigationBarBackground"
[View] id: "statusBarBackground"
Does ANYONE know why the automationId's are not getting translated into labels?
I will say this is an extremely frustrating acceptance test framework to use. As you can see I wasn't able to pull automationId's off the toolbar item either and had to revert to a relatively ungraceful "x.class(....)" workaround. Hopefully there is a similarly easy workaround for this.
Suggestions?
