findLabelAtIndex with iOS sets type "XCUIElementTypeStaticText"

[scsmith5593]

Hi,

Having a problem with findLabelAtIndex. I've created a new Label TestObject with type=XCUIElementTypeImage and name=detail-disclosure (as those are the type and name of the objects in the list I'm testing). When I run my test using findLabelAtIndex, the element isn't found and I see in the logs:

[35m[HTTP]�[39m �[90m{"using":"xpath","value":"(//[@type='XCUIElementTypeStaticText' and @name='detail-disclosure'])[6]"}�[39m
WARNING: Logger is not initialized. No log file will be written.
Would have logged:
Could not find any list elements matching xpath: (//[@type='XCUIElementTypeStaticText' and @name='detail-disclosure'])[6]

Not sure where XCUIElementTypeStaticText came from or why it's not using the type I set in the object: XCUIElementTypeImage.

Katalon Studio version: 6.2.2
Appium Version: 1.12.1

Thanks for any help/further info you can provide.

Hi @scsmith5593 ,

Thanks for reaching out!

The apps I've been testing have the labels as text, instead of images, so when the library looks for labels, it's assuming text.

We should be able to add functionality to look at the element type when an existing Test Object is provided.

Hi, Chris,

Got it. I thought that might be the case. Thanks.

Hi @scsmith5593 ,

If you want to check out version 1.13.0, I think it will address the issue you saw with finding image elements at an index: https://github.com/detroit-labs/katalon-mobile-util/releases/tag/1.13.0

https://github.com/detroit-labs/katalon-mobile-util#finding-an-element-from-a-list-by-index

Specifically, now you would use something like this:

import com.detroitlabs.katalonmobileutil.testobject.TestObjectType

int index = 3 // first element in the list is at index 1, so this gets the 3rd element
TestObject imageAtIndex = Finder.findElementAtIndex(TestObjectType.IMAGE, 'Generic image element', index) 

Please let me know if you have any issues getting this to work for your situation.
