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:disableSuppressAccessibilityService - This capability indicates whether accessibility services should be suppressed during the automated test. Set this to false before initializing the Appium inspector session. App Automate sets this to true by default.
  • appium:settings[allowInvisibleElements] - This capability indicates whether elements with a false display attribute should be included in the XML source tree. Set this to true before initializing the Appium inspector session. App Automate sets this to false by default.
  • noBlankPolling - This capability fetches 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.
