iOS find element by partial id with xcuitest

[BB]

Hi,

I want to find some elements which share the prefix "pre " but has different suffixes.

i.e. elements ids are: "pre elem1" and "pre elem2".

I want to be able to find each of them separately.

Could someone give me a hand with this?

Thanks.

example with predicate:

@iOSXCUITFindBy(iOSNsPredicate = "type == 'XCUIElementTypeStaticText' AND name BEGINSWITH 'pre '")
private List<IOSElement> yourList;

[BB]

Thanks for the quick response,

How can I use without @iOS... ?

I mean something like that:

driver.findElement(By...)

[Aleksei]

@BB here your way:

driver.findElements(MobileBy.iOSNsPredicateString("type == 'XCUIElementTypeStaticText' AND name BEGINSWITH 'pre '"));

[BB]

It doesn't seem to work...

It doesn't recognize ".iOSNsPredicateString"

Do you know what could be the reason for that?

[Aleksei]

your java-client version is OLD

[BB]

Thanks a lot @Aleksei! I appreciate it.

Can we use ios_predicate with Ruby client?

[BB]

My Java Client was up to date...

Can you tell me what to import?

[Aleksei]

mine java-client version:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.appium</groupId>
            <artifactId>java-client</artifactId>
            <version>5.0.0-BETA8</version>
        </dependency>

to import it is:

import io.appium.java_client.MobileBy;

@gajeshwar try here - https://github.com/appium/sample-code/tree/master/sample-code/examples/ruby

[gajeshwar]

Sorry, but I can't find anything related to ios predicate there.

[Aleksei]

@gajeshwar next try - see end https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/docs/en/writing-running-appium/ios_predicate.md

[gajeshwar]

Thanks for your help @Aleksei but that also didn't work with iOS 10.* using
Appium 1.6.4.

I am doubtful whethet we have added predicate support in newer ruby library
or not.

[BB]

@Aleksei ...What should I import to use : iOSXCUITFindBy ?

And maybe the reason I can't find those methods is that I use Java?

@gajeshwar you need look into Appium logs to check how it sending with ruby.
@BB

import io.appium.java_client.pagefactory.iOSXCUITFindBy;

[gajeshwar]

Sorry but how can I check appium logs since I couldn't execute those commands at all.
