Session 5 - Locating Application Elements

This session demonstrates two different ways to specify the location of an Element so that some action can be executed on it:

1. Example 1: "SwipeWhileNotFound" command - Swipe to search for an element or text.

2. Example 2: "ElementListSelect" command - Select an element in a list (after first making the element visible).

For this example we'll use the eri-Bank application. We will go to the payment page, click on the countries list, and choose United-Kingdom (which is the not visible unless scrolling down)

Preparations:

Step 1: We will do a native record on the eri-Bank application as explained in session 1 - "Getting Gtarted iOS / Android / WindowsPhone "

Step 2: Change the last command to "Click" on 'Make Payment' Object (instead of "VerifyElement").

1. Click on the relevant step

2. Expand the commands drop-down list

3. Choose the wanted command (in this case - 'Click')

   

   This is the new script:
   
   

Step 3: Add a step - Click on 'Select' button (to open the countries list)

1. Click on the "Object Spy" icon button.

2. Click on the 'Select' button.

3. Right-click on one of the Object's properties to Add a command -> choose 'Click'.

   

   The Countries list will now appear on the device and the script will appear in the script area:

   

Now we are ready to add the command that will find the country we want and then click on it - the country will be United-Kingdom'

1. "SwipeWhileNotFound" command

2. "ElementListSelect" command
