Appium 1.6.3 find_element by xpath locator strategy not working(at least on android)

[hardik-d]

I am getting error:

"Selenium::WebDriver::Error::TimeOutError:
timed out after 10 seconds (An element could not be located on the page using the given search parameters.)"

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.6.3
• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): N/A
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: Mac OS X EL Capitan 10.11.6
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): v5
• Mobile platform/version under test: Android 6.0
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Emulator
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: N/A

piece of code that is failing:

set_context "NATIVE_APP"
within_context('NATIVE_APP') do
  wait_true(10) { @driver.find_element(:xpath, "//text[@value='7-Eleven']").displayed? }
  @driver.find_element(:xpath, "//text[@value='7-Eleven']").click
end

capabilities:

opts = {caps: {
platformName: 'Android',
udid: ENV["UDID"],
deviceName: "Android Emulator",
appPackage: 'com.paynearme.consumer.dev',
appActivity: 'com.paynearme.android.pnmc.MobileConsumer',

}, appium_lib: { port: ENV["PORT"].present? ? ENV["PORT"] : "4723" }
}

text is not a valid android classname. it's an attribute. You should print the source and make sure the xpath query you're constructing matches that. what you probably want is something more like:

//android.widget.TextView[@text='7-Eleven']
