PyCharm does not suggest methods for Appium Python client

[KazuCocoa]

Selenium WebDriver can.

e.g.

self.driver. find_element_by_accessibility_id('xxxx') # When `.` is inputted, PyCharm should suggest `click` etc
self.driver. find_element_by_xpath('xxxx') # When `.` is inputted, PyCharm suggests `click` etc. selenium webdriver has it

I'm not sure the logic of PyCharm yet

This probably happens because of the mixin structure. In Python 3 it might work better as it gives a possibility to provide type hints

Seems working well on my environment, so it's not due to Appium Python client at least. (maybe PyCharm settings?)

[ki4070ma]

Appium-Python-Client should be here, I think.

What about find_element_by_accessibility_id? Not by_id @ki4070ma

@KazuCocoa
Sorry for my missing check description for details, it doesn't work.

Memo

I'm not sure why it doesn't work for now from below investigation.

• When find_element in webdriver@appium commented-out, below 2 NG become OK. (*1)
  • Can suggest via find_element at selenium
  • Cannot suggest via find_element at appium
• When execute in webdriver@selenium is copied to webdriver@appium, it's still NG.

from appium import webdriver
from selenium import webdriver as swebdriver

self.driver = webdriver.Remote('')
self.selenium_driver = swebdriver.Remote('')

self.driver.find_element_by_accessibility_id() -> NG -> OK(*1)

self.driver.find_element() -> NG -> OK(*1)

self.driver.find_element_by_id() -> OK
   -> linked to selenium

self.selenium_driver.find_element() -> OK

webdriver@appium (before updated docstring)
