Wait for element to load when testing an iOS app using Appium and Ruby?

Question

I am testing an iOS app, and can't interact with the elements after logging in because Appium is going too fast.

Can someone please point me to an example of using a WebDriverWait style of waiting for Appium iOS testing? Preferably in Ruby.

Thanks.

Answer 1

This worked for me but I am new to Appium

#code that navigated to this page
wait = Selenium::WebDriver::Wait.new :timeout => 10
wait.until { @driver.find_element(:name, 'myElementName').displayed? }
#code that deals with myElementName

I use this construction to wait some element appears:

wait_true { exists { find_element(:xpath, path_to_element) } }

Of course, you can find not only by :xpath.

Also you can set timeout:

wait_true(timeout) { exists { find_element(:xpath, path_to_element) } }
