Identify elements using Appium Inspector
Why is the Appium inspector not identifying elements?
Try adding one of the following capabilities if you are having trouble finding elements:
-
appium:settings[allowInvisibleElements]: This capability determines whether the XML source tree includes elements with a false display attribute. Set the capability totruebefore initializing the Appium inspector session. App Automate sets this capability tofalseby default. -
appium:disableSuppressAccessibilityService: This capability determines whether whether the automated test suppresses accessibility services. Set this capability tofalsebefore initializing the Appium inspector session. App Automate sets this capability totrueby default.
Settingappium:disableSuppressAccessibilityServicetofalsecan cause issues with report generation on Android devices in App Accessibility testing. For troubleshooting element detection issues in App Accessibility testing, see Troubleshoot element detection issues in automated tests. -
noBlankPolling: This capability fetches the response from the Appium server. If you get theClassCastExceptionerror, set this capability totrueinbrowserstackoptionsto view the exact error response in the console.
