xcode: Timestamped Event Matching Error: Failed to find matching element



I'm trying to record some XCUITesting functions. I get this error.


Timestamped Event Matching Error: Failed to find matching element



Is this an Xcode bug and/or issues with the complexity of my UI?





I have exactly the same problem

Same problem here. I'm clicking on a tableview cell which it says it can't find... weird.

Setting the isAccessibilityElement value to YES for my tableViewCells fixed this problem.

I was having the same problem for a long time on a very complex app as well: The key is all in isAccessibilityElement being set to YES. UI testing and accessibility go hand-in-hand. The way I think about it is that the device needs to be able to interact with the element, since ostensibly, the user wouldn't be able to.


isAccessibilityElement



I did this twice:



In cellForRowAtIndexPath - cell.isAccessibilityElement = YES


cellForRowAtIndexPath


cell.isAccessibilityElement = YES



In awakeFromNib in a UITableViewCell subclass - self.isAccessibilityElement = YES


awakeFromNib


UITableViewCell


self.isAccessibilityElement = YES



Hope that helps, and good luck!



Try manipulating with items isAccessibilityElement property. As far as I know containers like tableView should have this property set to NO in order to items contained inside them be accessible



Quote from https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIAccessibility_Protocol/#//apple_ref/occ/instp/NSObject/isAccessibilityElement :



Assistive applications can get information only about objects that are
represented by accessibility elements. Therefore, if you implement a
custom control or view that should be accessible to users with
disabilities, set this property to YES. The only exception to this
practice is a view that merely serves as a container for other items
that should be accessible.



You need to add key path value to your UI elements as below. For an example, if you are using a tableview then select it in the Storyboard and then click on Identity Inspector. Now enter the following value isAccessibilityElement in the key and tick the checkbox as shown in the image below.


tableview


Identity Inspector


isAccessibilityElement

Also if you can't tap on the UITableViewCell or the subclasses, then enable the Accessibility option as shown below.

hereafter it should work just fine.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Store custom data using WC_Cart add_to_cart() method in Woocommerce 3 I am creating a membership site and totally created static pages for each Membership plans (have only 3 plans). However, I have added products for each plan and when I hit SELECT PLAN button I redirect to some custom form where I ask users range of info we are going to use to fulfil the plan (same as sneakertub.com). I have written code into the PHP page which will handle SUBMIT action of the form. This PHP file, infopage.php , will process POST data I sent via POST call and stores these all data into WC session. infopage.php $customer_name = $_POST["customer_name"]; $customer_email = $_POST["customer_email"]; $customer_sex = $_POST["customer_sex"]; $customer_age = $_POST["customer_age"]; $product_id = $_POST["product_id"]; global $wp_session; $data = array( 'customer_name' => $customer_name, 'customer_email' =...
