[DV Ravikumar]

Hi,

 

I need a help in lunching the simulator with  specific language from terminal .

for this I tried changind the simulator .GlobalPreferences.plist values for AppleLanguages and AppleLocale(For Ex : AppleLanguages[0] = pt,AppleLocale = pt_BR) but simulator is still launching in english only.

I have one requirement with respect to UILable :

How can i check the label text is truncating or not using Calabash.

Please let me know if you guys having any suggestions.

Thanks In advance

Take a look here: https://gist.github.com/tejasv02/f3f47daebc8998ef233c

and support list languages - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4328839/looking-for-a-list-of-all-available-languages-in-ios

you can specify a @tag and launch simulator with desired language.

You can also just pass the local as an argument from calabash.

Take a look on my code example from console below. Hope it helps you.

irb(main):017:0> query('UITextFieldLabel')[0]

{

                     "id" => nil,

            "description" => "<UITextFieldLabel: 0x7f9a5a815f90; frame = (70 1.5; 186 34.5); text = 'Ronald Reagan Washington ...'; opaque = NO; userInteractionEnabled = NO; layer = <_UILabelLayer: 0x7f9a5a816410>>",

                  "label" => "Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA)",

                  "frame" => {

            "y" => 1.5,

            "x" => 70,

        "width" => 186,

       "height" => 34.5

                  "alpha" => 1,

                "enabled" => true,

              "x" => 80,

          "width" => 186,

   }

}

"Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA)"

false

"Ronald Reagan Washington ..."

irb(main):022:0> query('UITextFieldLabel', :description)[0].include?(truncated)

true

Thanks for you reply.

My usecase is:

I'll get string from localization and with particular key and assigned to a UILabel.while doing UIAutomation i'll compare the UILabel text with Localisation key value.

I tried the example you posted in my use case like : query("label marked:<label_id> ", :description)[0].include?(<my localization text>) is returning true always for me even text is truncated in UILabel on the UI or not truncated also.

Please let me know is anything wrong i'm doing or you have any other suggestions.

Please, provide your output from console for this TextField, label 

[DV Ravikumar]

Hi,

My Code what i have written for checking label text truncation

def truncated(elementQuery,text)

    desc = query(elementQuery, :description)[0]

    puts "Label Description : #{desc}"

    puts "Localization text: #{text}"

    is_trincated = query(elementQuery, :description)[0].include?(text)

    puts "Truncation Check Result :#{is_trincated}"

end

PF Console output below attched screenshot for how label is displaying on the UI.

@Label

  Scenario: Create Philips Account Steps                                                     # features/my_first.feature:18

    Given I am on the Register Screen                                                        # features/step_definitions/my_first_steps.rb:2

    Then I wait to see label 'ExplanatoryLabel' with key Create_Account_Hint_Password_lbltxt # features/step_definitions/check_localization.rb:12

      Langauage :en Create_Account_Hint_Password_lbltxt

      Label Description : <UILabel: 0x7f818b67e5c0; frame = (57.5 17; 260 12); text = 'Protect your privacy by c...'; opaque = NO; autoresize = RM+BM; userInteractionEnabled = NO; tintColor = UIDeviceRGBColorSpace 0 0 0 1; layer = <_UILabelLayer: 0x7f818b67d330>>

      Localization text: Protect your privacy by choosing a strong password.

      Truncation Check Result :false

    Then I wait for 10 seconds                                                               # calabash-cucumber-0.16.4/features/step_definitions/calabash_steps.rb:208

Which text you paste in brackets? If you enter full sentence - then it is correct behaviour of false in results, if you will enter truncated text you will see true. In you console output you see it as well that text is truncated.

Try to update you method.

def truncated(elementQuery,text)

    desc = query(elementQuery, :description)[0]

    is_truncated = query(elementQuery, :description)[0].include?(text)

   

    if is_truncated

      puts "Text is not truncated, #{desc}"

    else

      puts "Text is truncated, #{desc}"

    end

end

[DV Ravikumar]

The text in brackets will be always full sentence,the text in UILabel is truncated on the UI(Screen).But when i change the height of the label in the storyboard makes the text on the Label will visible completly,that time also i'm getting same result as false.

OutPut :

 @Label

  Scenario: Create Philips Account Steps                                                     # features/my_first.feature:18

    Given I am on the Register Screen                                                        # features/step_definitions/my_first_steps.rb:2

      Localization text: Protect your privacy by choosing a strong password.

      Text is truncated, <UILabel: 0x7f82dbe4cc50; frame = (57.5 17; 260 24); text = 'Protect your privacy by c...'; opaque = NO; autoresize = RM+BM; userInteractionEnabled = NO; tintColor = UIDeviceRGBColorSpace 0 0 0 1; layer = <_UILabelLayer: 0x7f82dbe622e0>>

    Then I wait for 10 seconds                                                               # calabash-cucumber-0.16.4/features/step_definitions/calabash_steps.rb:208

ExpectedOutPut : Text is not truncated,<Label Description has to print>
