#uia_call(args_arr, *opts) ⇒ Object

Advanced method used to invoke UIAutomation JavaScript methods on objects found via Calabash queries

Examples:

Calling UIAButton.isVisible() - https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/ToolsLanguages/Reference/UIAElementClassReference/UIAElement/UIAElement.html

uia_call [:button, {marked:'New Post'}], :isVisible

Advanced example that chains calls and uses arguments

uia_call [:view, marked:'New Post'], {withName:"New Post"}, :toString, {charAt:0}

Parameters:

  • args_arr (Array) —

    array describing the query, e.g., ‘[:button, marked:’foo’]‘

  • opts (Array) —

    optional arguments specifying a chained sequence of method calls (see example)

def uia_call(args_arr, *opts)
  uia_call_method(:queryEl, [args_arr], *opts)
end

#uia_call_windows(args_arr, *opts) ⇒ Object

Similar to ‘uia_call` but searches all windows

end

#uia_keyboard_visible? ⇒ Boolean

Note:

IMPORTANT this should only be used when the app does not respond to ‘keyboard_visible?` and UIAutomation is being used.

Used for detecting keyboards that are not normally visible to calabash; e.g. the keyboard on the ‘MFMailComposeViewController`

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

Raises:

  • (RuntimeError) —

    If the app was not launched with instruments

See Also:

  • #keyboard_visible?

def uia_keyboard_visible?
  res = uia_query_windows(:keyboard)
  res != ":nil"
end

#uia_names(*queryparts) ⇒ Array<String>

Invoke a Calabash query inside the UIAutomation Calabash engine - includes all UIAWindows. Note that this traverses the UIA (accessibility) hierarchy.

Examples:

uia equivalent of ‘identifier “button”`

uia_names :button
# returns
[
  "Browse",
  "UINavigationBarBackIndicatorDefault.png",
  "16h",
  "reader postaction comment blue",
  "16h",

  "17h",
  "10",
  "Reader",
  "Notifications",
  "Me",
  "New Post"
]

Parameters:

  • queryparts (Array) —

    array of segments in the query, e.g., ‘:button, marked:’Hello’‘

Returns:

  • (Array<String>) —

    “names” (accessibilityIdentifier) of UIAElements matching the query.

  uia_handle_command(:names, queryparts)
end

#uia_orientation ⇒ String

Gets the current orientation of the device

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the current orientation of the device one of ‘{’portrait’, ‘portrait-upside-down’, ‘landscape-left’, ‘landscape-right’, ‘faceup’, ‘facedown’ }‘

def uia_orientation
  o = uia_handle_command(:orientation).to_s
  o[1..o.length]
end

#uia_query(*queryparts) ⇒ Array<Hash>

Invoke a Calabash query inside the UIAutomation Calabash engine Note that this traverses the UIA (accessibility) hierarchy.

Examples:

uia query equivalent of “button marked:‘Hello’”

uia_query :button, marked:'Hello'

Parameters:

  • queryparts (Array) —

    array of segments in the query, e.g., ‘:button, marked:’Hello’‘
