phonegap webview, test fails when switching to webview

[Adam Teja]

Hello, I have a hybrid Phonegap/cordova app that I'm trying to test on Android at SauceLabs. The app loads and launches in the simulator OK, but I can't seem to locate any elements on the page. The app does seem to take some time to get to the point where the login dialog is shown (due to gratuitous javascript).  I am now trying to switch to "WEBVIEW", to see if I get better results but now I get an Appium error. Any suggestions appreciated - I'm stuck. 

Appium Error:

Code:

desired_caps = {

    'device': 'Android',

    'deviceType' : 'phone', #phone, tablet (sauce labs)

    'browserName' :'',

  }

#driver = webdriver.Remote('http://192.168.244.129:4723/wd/hub', desired_caps)

driver = webdriver.Remote('http://USERNAME:API...@ondemand.saucelabs.com:80/wd/hub', desired_caps)

print ( driver.window_handles ) # returns [u'NATIVE_APP', u'WEBVIEW']

time.sleep(15);

driver.switch_to_window(driver.window_handles[1]);   

## THIS IS WHERE IS FAILS ##

element = driver.find_element_by_name("username");

element.send_keys("asmith");

element=driver.find_element_by_name("password");

element.send_keys("testing1")

  

  

driver.quit

SOLVED: use Selendroid to automate Hybrid web apps. As far as how to set this up with Appium, that's another story.

desired_caps = {

    'device': 'Selendroid',

Looks like your system isn't configured properly to use chromedriver.

Are you indeed  on linux?

Ok, solved the issue.

"sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux/libnss3.so /usr/lib/libnss3.so"

Made a link for libnss3.so at /usr/lib/libnss3.so and restart the system. Works fine.

Thanks and regards.
