I am trying to click on the Allow button using Detox.
I have tried the following:
Detox: iOS Simulator how to confirm alert message
I have also tried targeting the "Allow" button by element(by.label('Allow')).tap()
and also by.text
I do not want to set location permissions upon app launch. I would like to simulate a user allowing and not allowing location permissions.
In your init.js
file you can allow the permissions:
beforeAll(async () => {
await detox.init(config, { launchApp: false });
await device.launchApp({newInstance: true, permissions: {notifications: 'YES'}});
});
Permissions:
calendar=YES|NO
camera=YES|NO
contacts=YES|NO
health=YES|NO
homekit=YES|NO
location=always|inuse|never
medialibrary=YES|NO
microphone=YES|NO
motion=YES|NO
notifications=YES|NO
photos=YES|NO
reminders=YES|NO
siri=YES|NO
You can check the documentation here: https://github.com/wix/detox/blob/master/detox/test/e2e/13.permissions.test.js
This is not possible using Detox. The alert is presented from a different process, while Detox operates strictly in the app's process realm.
To "Allow" I have used this with success:
element(by.type('_UIAlertControllerActionView')).atIndex(1);
And for "Don't Allow", this should work:
return element(by.type('_UIAlertControllerActionView')).atIndex(0);
