Element identification using iOS Predicate String

[prasadrajassekaran]

I would like to click the first three records one by one in a table. So I used the below iOS Predicate method to click but getting Nosuch element exception.

I did search a lot in google to figure out the correct syntax but apparently not succeed yet. Any assistance?

Note: The name/id/value are dynamic and hence can’t be predetermined. Also I wish to not go with XPATH due to performance issue.

Mobile: IOS Native App. Appium: 1.8.2 Java client: 6.1.0

Exception:
cucumber.runtime.CucumberException: org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: An element could not be located on the page using the given search parameters.

Method:

public static void ClickusingPredicateString(String selector) {
driver().findElement(MobileBy.iOSNsPredicateString(selector)).click();
}

Element(under for loop to increment the record position):

type == ‘XCUIElementTypeCell[1]’ AND visible==1
type == ‘XCUIElementTypeCell[2]’ AND visible==1
type == ‘XCUIElementTypeCell[2]’ AND visible==1

Thanks for your time!

I have already referred the same and applied in my code but apparently stuck with same issue.

By predicate location is unable to select elements by their indexes. You could either select all visible cells

type == ‘XCUIElementTypeCell’ AND visible == 1

and then get the first three matches from the resulting array or use class chain locator to select elements by their indexes:

**/XCUIElementTypeCell[visible == 1][1]
