UiAutomator bug while inspecting WebView elements

Question

I have recently started automation testing in android and was using UiAutomator tool for inspecting UI elements. Surprisingly, I came across two different responses for Webview elements for the same screen and same device [Genymotion MotoX 4.4.4]. Attached are the screenshots for the same. We all know that appium has an issue with inspecting webview elements who do not carry "setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled" to true. Is this a bug in UiAutomator?

Answer 1

  

我们都知道appium在检查webview元素时存在问题   谁不携带＆＃34; setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled＆＃34;为真。这是一个   UiAutomator中的错误？

否，这不是一个错误。它是一个 IMPLEMENTATION 。除非setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled设置为true，否则您无法调试或访问Web视图中的任何元素。

引用developers.android.com

  

void setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled（已启用布尔值）

     

启用   调试加载到任何内容的Web内容（HTML / CSS / JavaScript）   此应用程序的WebViews。可以启用此标志以便   便于调试内部运行的Web布局和JavaScript代码   网页视图。有关调试，请参阅WebView文档   指南。默认值为false。
