[Android] Detox fails to type text in invisible input

[eilinwis]

What happened?

Hello! I'm testing a screen with hidden input Works fine on iOS but fails on android

await element(by.id(input)).typeText(text)

and i get this error: Test Failed: Action will not be performed because the target view does not match one or more of the following constraints: ((view has effective visibility <VISIBLE> and view.getGlobalVisibleRect() covers at least <75> percent of the view's area) and (((view has effective visibility <VISIBLE> and view.getGlobalVisibleRect() to return non-empty rectangle)) and (view.onCreateInputConnection() is not null or is assignable from class <class android.widget.SearchView>)))

this is what .getAttributes() shows: { identifier: 'input', visibility: 'visible', visible: false, label: '', alpha: 1, elevation: 0, height: 133, width: 1000, focused: true, enabled: true, text: '', length: 0, textSize: 39, placeholder: '' }

What was the expected behaviour?

Text will be typed into input form

Was it tested on latest Detox?

• [X] I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

Did your test throw out a timeout?

• [X] I have followed the instructions under Identifying which synchronization mechanism causes us to wait too much.

Help us reproduce this issue!

No response

More data, please!

Assumption - may be it happens cause there is a tap before the input itself? And detox cannot tap on invisible elements I ViewInteraction: Performing 'Click to focus & type text (0.1)' action on view (view.getTag() is "input" and view has effective visibility <VISIBLE>)

I have the same issue I hope there will be a fix soon.

I have this problem too. And so does this guy https://github.com/wix/Detox/issues/1556.

I'm currently blocked trying to log in to our app due to needing to type into a hidden input.
