I'm trying to write some UI tests for an Android APP with the espresso framework.
For now I'm just checking if all the elements are present on the splash screen and then I'm trying to click the login button.
When the the button is clicked the test fails due to an error that I can't seem to understand why it's happening.
My test code is
@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
@SmallTest
public class WelcomeTest {
@Rule
public ActivityTestRule<Welcome> mActivityRule = new ActivityTestRule<>(
Welcome.class);
@Test
public void elements_present() {
// Check login
onView(withId(R.id.wv_login)).check(matches(isDisplayed()));
// Check signup
onView(withId(R.id.wv_signup)).check(matches(isDisplayed()));
// Check video
onView(withId(R.id.videoView)).check(matches(isDisplayed()));
// Check swipe right
onView(withId(R.id.videoView)).perform(swipeRight());
// Check swipe left
onView(withId(R.id.videoView)).perform(swipeLeft());
}
@Test
public void tap_login() {
// Tap login button
onView(withId(R.id.wv_login)).perform(click());
}
}
The output I get is:
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Action will not be performed because the target view does not match one or more of the following constraints: at least 90 percent of the view's area is displayed to the user.
What does this mean and is this caused by my test approach or is it a bug on the code? The app seems to work just fine on my devices.
PS: I have disabled the animations as the espresso documentation suggests
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Action will not be performed because the target view does not match one or more of the following constraints: at least 90 percent of the view's area is displayed to the user.
I happens when any expected View is not full visible, Espresso by default is looking for elements which are completely visible on device screen.
It seems to be that your actual device screen don't show whole content of your login activity xml file.
ScrollView
or ListView
? It might help:
onView(withId(R.id.wv_login))
.perform(scrollTo(), click());
I problem still would happen, please you add to your question xml or screenshot. I would fix it ;-)
NOTE: To check if something is completely visible (it means more then 90%) you can use
onView(withId(R.id.wv_login)).check(matches(isCompletelyDisplayed()));
instead of:
onView(withId(R.id.wv_login)).check(matches(isDisplayed()));
Run your test on bigger screen device, to check if it still happens.
