@jlipps @Jonahss
This is to support the NSPredicate string added to xcuitesting framework driver facebookarchive/WebDriverAgent#124. This wont hurt being in master, people using the old UIA framework just wont be able to use this support.

rafe-g · 2016-03-31T19:19:46Z

FYI @ericwengelking

TikhomirovSergey · 2016-03-31T19:22:57Z

@Rafael-Chavez
It is cool! 👍
But there are some remarks:

Please improve the PR description
please add some test which show how the feature works.

    }

+    public static By IosNsPredicateString(final String id) {


sorry let me fix this, should be iOSPredicateString

rafe-g · 2016-03-31T22:00:05Z

@TikhomirovSergey added test and updated pr description.

ericwengelking · 2016-03-31T22:12:23Z

src/main/java/io/appium/java_client/MobileBy.java

+
+    public static By IosNsPredicateString(final String iOSNsPredicateString) {
+    	if (iOSNsPredicateString == null) {
+    	  throw new IllegalArgumentException("Must supply an iOS NsPredicate String");


Since this is just a comment I would format it "NSPredicate" instead of "NsPredicate"

ericwengelking · 2016-03-31T22:12:35Z

lgtm thanks @Rafael-Chavez !

jlipps · 2016-04-01T00:09:07Z

src/main/java/io/appium/java_client/ios/IOSDriver.java

+    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") @Override
+    public RequiredElementType findElementByIosNsPredicate(String using)
+    throws WebDriverException {
+        return (RequiredElementType) findElement("predicate string", using);


I'd prefer for the locator strategy to be called "-ios ns predicate" or "-ios predicate string". either way it must have a - in front of it (see "-ios uiautomation" for analogy above)

TikhomirovSergey · 2016-04-03T11:01:58Z

@Rafael-Chavez I'm going to check it and merge it if everything is ok.

rafe-g · 2016-04-26T19:00:17Z

@TikhomirovSergey can we ship this?

TikhomirovSergey · 2016-04-27T09:10:32Z

@Rafael-Chavez
Sorry for the late response. I totally forgot about this PR.

Ok. I think that we are not able to merge this PR because:

I'm not sure that Appium is supporting xcuitest driver. Please read roadmap.
https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/51285550eadb907e5cf90931a0c72ec7bc4a004d/ROADMAP.md#current-roadmap-projects. @jlipps Please correct me if I'm wrong. When this supporting will be here then this PR will be merged.
You've modified the test IOSDriverTest.java. This modification is invalid. CI is going to be there in near future. If CI was here now then this PR validation would be failed. Can you move your test to another class?

rafe-g · 2016-04-27T15:56:23Z

Appium works with appium-xcuitest-driver (I have it running locally), however it does not come with it out of the box. Which one were you referring to @TikhomirovSergey ?

Yes ill isolate the xcui driver test that i added to a XCUIDriverTest.java class.

TikhomirovSergey · 2016-04-27T19:48:47Z

@Rafael-Chavez
Ok. Please isolate the test and show here how do you run it. Also I'll ask a question to appium team.

bootstraponline · 2016-04-27T20:12:32Z

Hi, I'm in favor of this change being merged. The documentation should clearly state it's limited to the XCUITest driver because the old UIAutomation JavaScript driver also supports predicates.

Once the test is moved to XCUIDriverTest.java then I think it'll be ready for merging.

rafe-g · 2016-04-27T23:39:49Z

@TikhomirovSergey isolated the test.

TikhomirovSergey · 2016-04-28T08:03:26Z

@Rafael-Chavez
Please add a new ISOLATED test.
...And you can provide additional documentation/description if there are many details. You can put it here: https://github.com/appium/java-client/tree/master/docs. I'll add the link to WIKI.

...And then I'll merge it

rafe-g · 2016-04-28T21:06:38Z

Moved the test to a separate file.

@TikhomirovSergey Is this for me to create a Readme file with instructions on how to install appium-xcuitest-driver?

SrinivasanTarget · 2016-04-29T03:57:28Z

@Rafael-Chavez Yes, you can create one here, https://github.com/appium/java-client/tree/master/docs

TikhomirovSergey · 2016-04-29T10:17:40Z

@Rafael-Chavez
Well. Test is isolated but there are some more remarks. Please make it clear.
It is not necessary to use BaseIOSTest. It was added because many integration tests use the same app and the same capability set. If something is different you can implement it as a standalone test. Take a look at IOSScrollTest

TikhomirovSergey · 2016-04-29T11:42:07Z

@Rafael-Chavez
also please squash commits.

TikhomirovSergey · 2016-04-29T16:14:22Z

src/test/java/io/appium/java_client/ios/XCUIDriverTest.java

+import org.openqa.selenium.ScreenOrientation;
+import org.openqa.selenium.html5.Location;
+
+public class XCUIDriverTest extends BaseIOSTest {


Please add remove extends BaseIOSTest and add @BeforeClass/@BeforeTest and @afterclass/@after methods. They should instantiate IOSDriver with specific capabilities, I think. May be it needs some specific server flags.

This test won't work. It is using regular iOS UI Automation.

This test won't work. It is using regular iOS UI Automation.

I've read this document
https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver#usage

But anyway BaseIOSTest uses another app. This test won't find the target element.

rafe-g · 2016-04-29T19:24:58Z

@TikhomirovSergey got it working with xcuitest driver. Ill push documentation then squash my commits.

rafe-g · 2016-04-30T00:31:34Z

@TikhomirovSergey @SrinivasanTarget according to github admin users need to squash?

@TikhomirovSergey @SrinivasanTarget according to github admin users need to squash?

admins can squash for you, but it's better to do it yourself.

$ git reset --soft head~19
$ git commit --amend
$ git push -f
