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 to true before initializing the Appium inspector session. App Automate sets this capability to false by default.
  • appium:disableSuppressAccessibilityService: This capability determines whether whether the automated test suppresses accessibility services. Set this capability to false before initializing the Appium inspector session. App Automate sets this capability to true by default.
    Setting appium:disableSuppressAccessibilityService to false can 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 the ClassCastException error, set this capability to true in browserstackoptions to view the exact error response in the console.
