Espresso click on webView button

Question

Hello I need to click on web view in my test. Button in webView code has following code:

<input type="submit" onclick="ignoreClose()" name="UsernamePasswordEntry" value="Submit">

I try to handle it like that:

   onWebView().withElement(findElement(Locator.NAME, "UsernamePasswordEntry")).perform(webClick());

But I get:

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Atom evaluation returned null!

Is there any way to handle it?

Answer 1

Try to use Locator.XPATH, ex.

onWebView().withElement(findElement(Locator.XPATH, "here put XPATH")).perform(webClick())

To get XPATH, just go to inspect elements on Web and right click on marked element and just copy XPATH
