Android EditText errors

[Mark Cox]

Hi,

I am new to Appium so hoping for some help.

We are trying to automate a app, and as part of this we have EditText fields that can display an error if validation on that field fails. The error is seemingly set by EditText.setError() within the code

but I don't seem to be able to grab the content of the error message within my tests.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Error which is set, is it a text view ? if yes, you should be able to identify it as an independent object.

It is set on a EditText field, the same that is mentioned within this post:

I am unable to see the popup error message within uiautomatorviewer.

Any thoughts?

Hmmm I faced the same issue. This is not possible thru appium. You will have to cover it in your unit tests

Oh ok, not really what I wanted to hear!

Thanks
