Hybrid Mobile Application Automation

If you get failed on recording / finding some elements on hybrid (webView) applications, you have to read this document first.

Open Mobile (Android / iOS) Project Settings. Use this capability in the project.

autoWebview → Boolean → true

autoWebview: Move directly into Webview context. Default is false

Java Example:

//Switch to Webview
driver.context("WEBVIEW");
//return driver.context(contexts[1]); // choose the webview context
Thread.sleep(2000);

WebElement myWebViewElement = (WebElement) driver.findElement(By.xpath("YOUR-XPATH"));
myWebViewElement.click();

//Switch to App
driver.context("NATIVE_APP");
Thread.sleep(1000);

WebElement myNativeAppElement = (WebElement) driver.findElement(By.xpath("YOUR-XPATH"));
myNativeAppElement.click();
