How to submit ENTER keypress?

[Revadike]

I have a webview with a submit button, that somehow cannot be found by patrol. So, as a workaround, I thought perhaps I can just submit the ENTER keypress, but I can't make that work either... I would love some assistance.

[Revadike]

some things I tried...

      // await $.native.tap(Selector(text: 'Inloggen'));
      // await $.native.tap(Selector(textContains: 'Inloggen'));
      // await $('Inloggen').tap();
      // await $.native.enterTextByIndex('\n', index: 1);
      await $.tester.testTextInput.receiveAction(TextInputAction.done);

nothing seems to work

Sounds like you'd want to have UiAutomator#pressEnter() exposed from Dart, don't you?

I don't know if it has any equivalent on iOS.

How can I do this with patrol? Excuse my lack of knowledge

[bartekpacia]

Right now you cannot, but we could expose that functionality.

[Revadike]

Yeah, that seems like a useful feature.

Meanwhile, any idea why Patrol cannot find the login button to tap from https://inside.heezenbedrijven.nl/inloggen/ ?

Yeah that would be super helpful for us. As mentioned in this issue #7 we cannot use any other way using standard Patrol Selector

I have done something like this, works on Android in the webview, not tested on iPhone yet:

await $.native.enterText(Selector(text: 'Username'), text: 'admin');
await $.native.enterText(Selector(text: 'Password'), text: 'secret');
await $.native.tap(Selector(className: 'android.widget.Button', instance: 2));

It is not nice having to use instance=2, but at least it works.

Any update on this? Is it now possible?
