Apple has re-designed the share sheet that appears, which has now broken my UI tests.
I have attempted to record a new UI test through Xcode, but as soon as I tap on the dismiss button, the test terminates so I have not been able to capture the event.
Ultimately, I just want to know how I can access the gray 'X' shown with the arrow below:
740
You can either right click the test and delete or select the target then select the minus symbol ( - ) at the bottom of the Document Navigator pane.
One of the quickest ways to disable a unit test is to simply rename its name. Xcode will execute only those test methods that start with a prefix “test”. If a method name does not start with a test prefix, it will not be executed.
If you are making a new app, make sure you select the “Use UI Tests” checkbox when creating a new Xcode project. To add it in an existing project go to the build folder and on the bottom left you will see the plus button. Selecting that will give you a dropdown menu, where you can then select “UI Testing Bundle”.
I have just tested this with Xcode 13 and have found that the original answer no longer works. However, I am keeping it for posterity, or those using previous versions of Xcode.
I have tested this with Xcode 13.0 and verified it works for iPhone and iPad:
let activityListView = app.otherElements.element(matching: .other,
identifier: "ActivityListView")
XCTAssertTrue(activityListView.waitForExistence(timeout: 2.0))
activityListView.buttons["Close"].tap()
app.otherElements.element(boundBy: 1).buttons.element(boundBy: 0).tap()
Using app.otherElements.element(boundBy: 1) would identify the share sheet for me. I had attempted to locate it through accessibility identifiers, but I could not find one that worked, including previously valid ones used in iOS 12 and below.
Please note that based on the layout of your screen, the index value may differ from what I am seeing.
Next, .buttons.element(boundBy: 0).tap() was used to locate the Close button. I again attempted to use identifiers, but could not find anything that represented the button.
When I attempted to discern additional information through the console while testing, I would always wind up crashing the test. This result was surprising, as I was able to query these elements with Xcode 10.
Ultimately, I would like to find working identifier values so that I can have something that works reliably across products, without the trial and error to find the share sheet's index value.
The following will dismiss the popover for an iPad:
app.otherElements["PopoverDismissRegion"].tap()
