Appium plugin for making XML source and XPath queries the same across iOS and Android
Appium plugin for transforming platform-specific XML into a universal syntax
This plugin takes the XML page source retrieved using an iOS or Android driver, and changes various
node and attribute names to use common terminology that can apply to both platforms. This is
achieved by altering the behavior of the getPageSource and findElement methods.
Having compatibility between iOS and Android XML sources can simplify creation of cross-platform tests.
appium plugin install universal-xml
The plugin must be explicitly activated when launching the Appium server:
appium --use-plugins=universal-xml
| iOS | Android | Transformed |
|---|---|---|
XCUIElementTypeButton | android.widget.Button | Button |
XCUIElementTypeAlert | android.widget.Toast | Alert |
XCUIElementTypeSwitch | android.widget.Switch | SwitchInput |
See the mapping file for a full list of node name translations. Any names not specified are left as-is.
| iOS | Android | Transformed |
|---|---|---|
name | content-desc | axId |
label | text | text |
visible | displayed | visible |
Note that this plugin also removes a few attributes from the transformed XML. See the mapping file for a full list of attribute name translations and removed attributes. Any names not specified are left as-is.
