UI Testing Failure - Neither element nor any descendant has keyboard focus on secureTextField
This issue caused me a world of pain, but I've managed to figure out a proper solution. In the Simulator, make sure I/O -> Keyboard -> Connect hardware keyboard
is off.
Recently we found a hack to make solution from accepted answer persistent. To disable Simulator setting: I/O -> Keyboard -> Connect hardware keyboard
from command line one should write:
defaults write com.apple.iphonesimulator ConnectHardwareKeyboard 0
It will not affect a simulator which is running - you need to restart simulator or start a new one to make that setting have its effect.
I have written a small extension (Swift) which works perfect for me.Here is the code:
extension XCTestCase { func tapElementAndWaitForKeyboardToAppear(element: XCUIElement) { let keyboard = XCUIApplication().keyboards.element while (true) { element.tap() if keyboard.exists { break; } NSRunLoop.currentRunLoop().runUntilDate(NSDate(timeIntervalSinceNow: 0.5)) } }}
The main idea is to keep tapping an element (text field) before the keyboard is presented.
