How do I make a locator based on custom attribute based on webpage of a hybrid app-CodePudding

I tried to use xpath for custom attribute provided by developers but getting no element found exception.

Code used:

WebElement f1 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@data-autoid='AC_NAME_ctrl']"));
f1.sendKeys("Rahul");

data-autoid is custom attribute with value 'AC_NAME_ctrl' Any help in this direction will be helpful.

CodePudding user response：

For hybrid apps, Appium has to know whether you want to automate the native aspects of the app or the web views.

Switch to web-context before interaction with web views elements.

driver.context("WEBVIEW_1");

and then

WebElement f1 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@data-autoid='AC_NAME_ctrl']"));
f1.sendKeys("Rahul");

do not forget to switch back to native.

driver.context("NATIVE_APP");

This will print all the available contexts:

Set<String> contextNames = driver.getContextHandles();
for (String contextName : contextNames) {
    System.out.println(contextName);
}
