Swift UI Testing Access string in the TextField
Swhift 4.2. You need to clear an existing value in textField and paste new value.
let app = XCUIApplication()
let textField = app.textFields["yourTextFieldValue"]
textField.tap()
textField.clearText(andReplaceWith: "VALUE")
XCTAssertEqual(textField.value as! String, "VALUE", "Text field value is not correct")
where clearText
is a method of XCUIElement
extension:
extension XCUIElement {
func clearText(andReplaceWith newText:String? = nil) {
tap()
press(forDuration: 1.0)
var select = XCUIApplication().menuItems["Select All"]
if !select.exists {
select = XCUIApplication().menuItems["Select"]
}
//For empty fields there will be no "Select All", so we need to check
if select.waitForExistence(timeout: 0.5), select.exists {
select.tap()
typeText(String(XCUIKeyboardKey.delete.rawValue))
} else {
tap()
}
if let newVal = newText {
typeText(newVal)
}
}
}
I use this code and it works fine:
textField.typeText("value")
XCTAssertEqual(textField.value as! String, "value")
If you're doing something similar and it isn't functioning, I would check to make sure that your textField element actually exists:
XCTAssertTrue(textField.exists, "Text field doesn't exist")
textField.typeText("value")
XCTAssertEqual(textField.value as! String, "value", "Text field value is not correct")
