secure text field - java binding

[Mayank Solanki]

Hiya,

I am trying to enter some text in secureTextField, but am not able to.

Entering text into textField is working perfectly fine.

Here's the code I am using - 

WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.name("password"));

password.sendKeys("text123");

I also tried it the other way - 

WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.tagName("secure"));

password.sendKeys("text123");

I am not seeing any exception when I try to do this, but sendKeys is not entering any value in the secure text field the way it does for text field.

Help please!

Thanks,

Mayank

Try this: 

WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.tagName("UIASecureTextField"));

Hi Shawn,

That doesn't work either. Both By.tagName("secure") and By.tagName("UIASecureTextField") does find the password field, but the problem is the sendKeys is not typing in the value :S

Wondering what's going wrong there.

Thanks,

Mayank

Hi Mayank,

Could you tell me what is the output on appium server when the command is pushed to appium work queue? 

Is there a problem with finding the field or setting the value for that specific field? 

Cheers,

Tom

Hi Tomasz,

The problem is with setting the value for that specific field.

Following is the appium server output. I have copied the out for username and password field, but for username field, things are working fine.

Hi Mayank,

I see you have .setValueByType('test123')

I had similar problem that field wasn't populated because of that change. In the previous version of appium it worked fine cause it was just 'setValue'. I asked why the change was implemented but haven't received answer yet, so for a temporary solution - I changed that in appium in my local files. 

If you want to check out this solution, do the following:

1. Open ios.js file (Appium/app/ios.js)

2. change line:

 var command = ["au.getElement('", elementId, "').setValueByType('", value, "')"].join('');

to

 var command = ["au.getElement('", elementId, "').setValue('", value, "')"].join('');

I am not saying that it's perfect solution but I work around my problem and so far didn't have issues because of that. 

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Tomasz

Hi,

 Following code worked for me - [when I used downloaded 0.15.0  Appium app]

 WebElement pwd = (new WebDriverWait(driver, 30)).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.name("Password")));

  pwd.click();

  List<WebElement> pwdList = driver.findElements(By.tagName("secure"));

  pwdList.get(0).sendKeys("test");

  pwdList.get(1).sendKeys("test");

But before I tried this, I was trying to fix it in appium code as mentioned by Tomasz ...

But I got

info: [INST] 2014-03-04 09:50:15 +0000 Error: Script threw an uncaught JavaScript error: Error getting next command, shutting down :-( on line 71 of bootstrap.js

When I tried to run from latest git cloned  code. [using iOS 7, Mac 10.8.8 and Xcode 5.2]

What could be the issue .. ?
