appium-safari-driver

appium-safari-driver copied to clipboard

I have setup Appium project in java which uses appium-safari-driver to automate web page. I have noticed that it's not able to click on elements. For example: If I am trying to login a user it enters username and pass correctly but fails to click.

Although there is no failure that is shown in logs or something but the click never happens. I have only tested this on iOS simulator as of now.

These are the capabilities I am using:

SafariOptions capabilities = new SafariOptions()
                 .setPlatformVersion("15.5")
                 .setAutomationName("Safari")
                 .setSafariDeviceName("iPhone 13 mini")
                 .setSafariUseSimulator(true)
                 .setPlatformName("iOS");

and using page factory to click an element

 @FindBy(css = "button.radius")
    private WebElement loginButton;

 @Step
    public void clickLogin() {
        loginButton.click();
    }

Below are the Appium logs for click function:

The log looks completely fine from Appium perspective. Consider reporting the issue to Apple

I've posted my page utilities, there are some alternatives you can try to direct clicks. Safari is always tricky.

Try this one --> click_element_coordinates() https://gist.github.com/DanEdens/ed5cb453bd97f6ee3eeb5b180a997502

In my case it's doing a long-press if I add timeout before the finish. I'm guessing that it's pressing down and never releasing up or something like that...
