'click_on_view_by_id' doesn't work about calabash-android

[jonasmaturana]

We use the short names for ids. In your case that would be "home_label".
I will update the documentation with a note about this.

Even with short id's I noticed the same issue.

getViewById: Looking for view home_label which does not have an id (RuntimeError)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:62:in timeout' features/my_first.feature:15:inThen I press view with id "home_label"'

HI,

I just replied to the closed issue in the forum. I noticed the same
problem or error even when I provided short id's.

Thanks
Surya

Try to install your app on the emulator and use the hierarchyviewer to inspect the view hierarchy. It the name there?

Can you share the logcat output you get from running the test?

I reopened the issue

HI Jonas,

Thanks for reopening this issue.

I am able to reproduce this consistently.

I do see the id in hierarchy viewer on eBay activity and also if I run plain vanilla robotium test case it works fine.
For example:-
solo.clickOnView(solo.getCurrentActivity().findViewById(
com.ebay.mobile.R.id.home_messages_label));

Hm, did you run calabash-android build with this exact binary?
If not, try to run it again and run the Calabash test again.

The ids are injected into the test server when we build it. That means you have to rebuild the test server if the apk changes.
This might seem a bit strange, but it is done so that we can black box test obfuscated apps which is not possible if we use the Robotium approach.

[atcrao]

.calabash_settings has the path to the apk. I did run "calabash-android build" followed by "calabash-android run --guess".
The apk is not changed and these id's exists for a while.

After downloading the latest gem, I noticed the below error. Of-couse the id based click never worked for me, even with older versions of calabash-android.

Shall I forward the apk and the features directory for you to take a quick look.

Then I press view with id "text_search_field" # calabash-android-0.0.17/lib/calabash-android/steps/press_button_steps.rb:13
undefined method exists?' for Dir:Class (NoMethodError) /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:62:intimeout'

[atcrao]

Jonas, can you please update or provide comments on this issue.

[jonasmaturana]

Please forward the apk and feature to [email protected] then I will take a look at right away.

[davidgo]

I already sent you an apk previously jonas, not sure if you still have it.
I can reproduce this as well when trying to click on the buttons in the top navigation bar.

[davidgo]

This seems to work fine now on 0.2.10
