Getting attributes/value from elements [Appium for iOS]

[egf...@voyagerinnovation.com]

Hi,

I'm trying to validate my automation cases by getting the text value of a StaticTextElement. I do this by calling the getValue/getAttribute method. My problem is that

when i try to print the result to the console, it only displays [object Object], also my condition for checking the return always return true. Can someone help me with this? Thanks!

Here's my code,

var textField = driver.waitForElementByAccessibilityId(app.oneToOne.nickNameField());

console.log(textField.getValue());

if (textField.getValue() == nickname) {

    return true;

}

return false;

What programming language is that? Javascript?

Yes. I use javascript and run it using the mocha command.

Your code need to be asynchronous, like in the web browser:

it('should work', function() {

  return driver

    .waitForElementByAccessibilityId(app.oneToOne.nickNameField()).getValue()

    .then(function(value) {

      console.log(value);

      return textField.getValue() === nickname;

    }).should.eventually.be.ok;

});

Sorry this is  more correct:

it('should work', function() {

  return driver

    .waitForElementByAccessibilityId(app.oneToOne.nickNameField()).getValue()

    .then(function(value) {

      console.log(value);

      return value === nickname;

    }).should.eventually.be.ok;

});
