Changing keyboard in UIAutomation

Question

I am testing my app. There I have a textfield, where first I enter letters, then I change keyboard to numbers and enter numbers, so that I get a string qwerty123. But UIAutomation doesn't understand this. When I run this script it says "tap point object is required" at the line "target.frontMostApp().keyboard().typeString("qwerty123\n");" How can I explain to it that the keyboard has changed?

Answer 1

To set any string, just use the following:

window.secureTextFields()[0].setValue(""); //Sets textfield to empty. 
app.keyboard().typeString(qwerty123); //Type any string you want
app.keyboard().typeString("\n"); //Press 'Enter'. Also can go in the above line.

You can set the textfield value with setValue which will bring the keyboard window and tap the done element in the keyboard

textfield.setValue(addressLink); target.frontMostApp().keyboard().elements()["done"].tap();

You can also do following

target.frontMostApp().keyboard().elements()["q"].tap(); target.frontMostApp().keyboard().elements()["w"].tap(); target.frontMostApp().keyboard().elements()["more"].tap(); target.frontMostApp().keyboard().elements()["1"].tap(); target.frontMostApp().keyboard().elements()["2"].tap(); target.frontMostApp().keyboard().elements()["done"].tap();
