Can not set io.appium.java_client.MobileElement field

[vikramvi]

I'm trying to use sing page object for Android & iOS, one of the elements looks as below

@AndroidFindBy(xpath="//android.widget.Button[@text='Log In']")
     @iOSFindBy(xpath="//XCUIElementTypeButton[@label='Log In']")
     MobileElement WPLogInButton;

This is throwing error as below

net.thucydides.core.pages.WrongPageError: The page object class com.serenity.appium.poc.FlipkartLoginPage looks dodgy:
Failed to instantiate page (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not set io.appium.java_client.MobileElement field com.serenity.appium.poc.FlipkartLoginPage.WPLogInButton to com.sun.proxy.$Proxy17)

As per my understanding this should work with fixes related to latest appium java client

[wakaleo]

You will need to debug the code to see what it is doing and why it is failing to instantiate.

@vikramvi related to this: #661

[vikramvi]

@livastar Per my understanding 93a719f#diff-503f218d646c10f484fdc9d6315bf2e3, should have fixed this problem & #661.

Please correct if I'm wrong cc: @wakaleo

@vikramvi
As I understand this issue is not related to the java-client. It's all about serenity.

you can use this:
@AndroidFindBy(xpath="//android.widget.Button[@text='Log In']")
@iOSFindBy(xpath="//XCUIElementTypeButton[@Label='Log In']")
WebElement (or WebElementFacade) WPLogInButton;

@livastar I've observed one more strange issue, the working code https://github.com/vikramvi/AppiumSerenityPOC broke when I used latest version of framework 1.5.9, any idea what may be going wrong ?

[vikramvi]

@livastar can you please update your project https://github.com/livastar/myTestFrameWork with latest serenity release to see this issue ?

[vikramvi]

@livastar can you please try your project with latest version of serenity-core and let me know if it works ?

[livastar]

Right now I cannot upgrade to the latest version of serenity or even java-client
I'm using 1.5.0-rc.1 and 5.0.0-BETA8
