Xcode UI Testing – typing text with typeText() method and autocorrection

ios9uitextfieldxcode-ui-testingxctest

I've got a test like below:

let navnTextField = app.textFields["First Name"]
let name = "Henrik"
navnTextField.tap()
navnTextField.typeText("Henrik")
XCTAssertEqual(navnTextField.value as? String, name)

Problem is that by default my iPhone Simulator has got Polish keyboard because of the system settings and "Henrik" is automatically changed into "ha" by autocorrect.

Simple solution is to remove Polish keyboard from the iOS Settings. This solution however is not solving the problem because iPhone Simulator can be reset and then test will fail again.

Is there any way to setup autocorrect before test case or other way to input text to text field.

Here's a small extension on XCUIElement to accomplish this

extension XCUIElement {
    // The following is a workaround for inputting text in the 
    //simulator when the keyboard is hidden
    func setText(text: String, application: XCUIApplication) {
        UIPasteboard.generalPasteboard().string = text
        doubleTap()
        application.menuItems["Paste"].tap()
    }
}

It can be used like this

let app = XCUIApplication()
let enterNameTextField =  app.otherElements.textFields["Enter Name"]
enterNameTextField.tap()
enterNameTextField.setText("John Doe", app)

Credit goes to @Apan for the implementation

Ios – How to make a UITextField move up when the keyboard is present – on starting to edit

You will only need a ScrollView if the contents you have now do not fit in the iPhone screen. (If you are adding the ScrollView as the superview of the components just to make the TextField scroll up when keyboard comes up, then it's not needed.)
The standard way to prevent the TextFields from being covered by the keyboard is to move the view up/down whenever the keyboard is shown.

Here is some sample code:

#define kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD 80.0

-(void)keyboardWillShow {
    // Animate the current view out of the way
    if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
    {
        [self setViewMovedUp:YES];
    }
    else if (self.view.frame.origin.y < 0)
    {
        [self setViewMovedUp:NO];
    }
}

-(void)keyboardWillHide {
    if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
    {
        [self setViewMovedUp:YES];
    }
    else if (self.view.frame.origin.y < 0)
    {
        [self setViewMovedUp:NO];
    }
}

-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)sender
{
    if ([sender isEqual:mailTf])
    {
        //move the main view, so that the keyboard does not hide it.
        if  (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
        {
            [self setViewMovedUp:YES];
        }
    }
}

//method to move the view up/down whenever the keyboard is shown/dismissed
-(void)setViewMovedUp:(BOOL)movedUp
{
    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3]; // if you want to slide up the view

    CGRect rect = self.view.frame;
    if (movedUp)
    {
        // 1. move the view's origin up so that the text field that will be hidden come above the keyboard 
        // 2. increase the size of the view so that the area behind the keyboard is covered up.
        rect.origin.y -= kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
        rect.size.height += kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
    }
    else
    {
        // revert back to the normal state.
        rect.origin.y += kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
        rect.size.height -= kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
    }
    self.view.frame = rect;

    [UIView commitAnimations];
}


- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    // register for keyboard notifications
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(keyboardWillShow)
                                             name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
                                           object:nil];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(keyboardWillHide)
                                             name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
                                           object:nil];
}

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
    // unregister for keyboard notifications while not visible.
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
                                             name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
                                           object:nil];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
                                             name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
                                           object:nil];
}

Javascript – display button only when page loads completely

Hide it through css and then show it when page loads.

Css

.wpsc_buy_button{
   display:none;
}

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#product_197_submit_button").show();
});

Alernatively you can disable the button by default and then enable in on page load. Try this.

Markup change

  <input type="submit" disabled="disabled" id="product_197_submit_button" 
class="wpsc_buy_button" name="Buy" value="Add To Cart">

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#product_197_submit_button").prop("disabled", false);
});
