App doesn't record tap on bottom nav item, but maestro marks as successful

[sanskar10100]

Jetpack Compose app, code for the UI component in question:

BottomNavigationItem(
            selected = selectedItem == Screen.FAVORITES,
            onClick = { if (selectedItem != Screen.FAVORITES) navController.navigate(R.id.favoritesFragment) },
            icon = {
                Icon(Icons.Filled.Favorite, contentDescription = null)
            },
            label = { Text("Favorites", modifier = Modifier.semantics { contentDescription = "Favorites" }) }
        )

Test yaml:

appId: dev.sanskar.pokedex
---
- launchApp
- tapOn: "Favorites"

Observed Behavior: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/22092047/189587494-6662100b-77cb-48c6-81f6-17d3ca314e37.mp4

Even tried with a test tag (#101). Modified UI Code:

BottomNavigationItem(
            selected = selectedItem == Screen.FAVORITES,
            onClick = { if (selectedItem != Screen.FAVORITES) navController.navigate(R.id.favoritesFragment) },
            icon = {
                Icon(Icons.Filled.Favorite, contentDescription = null)
            },
            label = {
                Text(
                    "Favorites",
                    modifier = Modifier
                        .testTag("favorites_bottom_nav")
                        .semantics { testTagsAsResourceId = true
                        }
                ) }
        )

Test yaml:

appId: dev.sanskar.pokedex
---
- launchApp
- tapOn:
    id: "favorites_bottom_nav"

The same behavior is observed.

In both cases, I can see "text" : "Favorites", in the output of maestro hierarchy. Here's the hierarchy output for the first case: hiearchy.txt

Note that Maestro will try to tap the Favorites button as soon as it sees it, which in this case might be during the loading phase. Could that perhaps be the reason? What happens if you press the "Favorites" button manually while the content is loading? Judging by the fact that test succeeded, it could indeed find the view, so the issue is somewhere else.

Even if the favorites item is clicked during the loading phase, the fragment would switch at least. That wasn't the case here.

@sanskar10100 If you are trying to use testTag, verify that testTagsAsResourceId semantics is enabled. https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/testing#uiautomator-interop

I faced the same issue and turned out that I missed enabling this semantic property for the composable subtree.
