Cannot get current time from IOS date picker

Hi,

I cannot get the current time from the IOS date picker below. I have tried different locator strategies (some pass but the ones that do pass always return the string “Today”). Also, some locator strategies simply fail the test. Please see below the script and screenshot of the IOS date picker.

Just curious, why are you using type to identify the element instead of xpath? In your image, you only have type checked to “Detect object by?”. What happens when you uncheck type and check xpath?

3

Using the XPATH instead, current Min is set to “PM”. Not exactly the value Im looking for.

e[35m[HTTP]e[39m e[90m{“using”:“xpath”,“value”:“//XCUIElementTypeApplication/XCUIElementTypeWindow[3]/XCUIElementTypeOther[1]/XCUIElementTypeOther[1]/XCUIElementTypeDatePicker[1]/XCUIElementTypePicker[1]/XCUIElementTypePickerWheel[4]”}e[39m

2021-07-15 17:32:37.790 INFO c.k.k.c.keyword.builtin.CommentKeyword - CURRENT MIN = PM

fyi, I changed the last index from 4 to 3, and now I’m getting 41 minutes. Which is what I’m looking for.

5

And if you change the last index to 2 you should get the hour.

6

Haven’t tried that yet but most likely. One thing that I am trying to do with this window is scroll to any minute before or after the currently selected minute which is the current time.
I have obtained the current minute as shown below.

String currentMin = Mobile.getText(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Login Screen/IOS/XCUIElementTypePickerWheel - PM (1)’),10) //Get current time

Mobile.comment("CURRENT MIN = " + currentMin)

currentMin = currentMin.substring(0,2)

//currentMin = Integer.parseInt(currentMin) - 1 //Go back 1 minute. Integer.parseInt() converts a string into an int

//Mobile.comment("NEW CURRENT MIN = " + currentMin)

//if (Integer.parseInt(currentMin) < 1) //Make sure no negative time!

// currentMin = 0

if (Integer.parseInt(currentMin) < 1) //Make sure no negative time!

currentMin = 0

//sleep(5000)

Mobile.comment(“—Setting Minute—”)

Mobile.scrollToText(currentMin-1)

The below link suggests you should try sendKeys instead of scrollToText. It states that the OP of that question can use sendKeys “to [successfully] select date, time, minutes, and AM/PM from the control” (but he couldn’t change the actual date which is what he was concerned about). Something to try.

Also an excellent explanation of the control at the bottom of the post.

8

The data type of the parameter for scrollToText is to be a String and you have, Mobile.scrollToText(currentMin-1). I don’t think the parameter you have would be considered a String.

Perhaps also you could look at the above and review currentMin as it is a String, not an Integer.

//Make sure no negative time!    
if (Integer.parseInt(currentMin) < 1) {

    currentMin = '0'    // or you could have `currentMin = 0.toString()`

} else {

    currentMin = (Integer.parseInt(currentMin) - 1).toString()
}

and then just use

Mobile.scrollToText(currentMin)

I used sendKeys and it worked. I was able to select the minutes. However I ran into another issue. Once I select the minutes and tap ‘Seek’ button from the UI, It then shows me the timestamp on another window. My script wants to validate the timestamp, however I cannot do a capture on that object. I get the following error.

The two main lines that I see are above. Looking at the element’s xpath, it looks like a specific date and time (which would only occur once a year). That could be why the “element” is not found. You will need to (manually) create an xpath that describes the element’s location less specific than you currently have. What about trying:

//*[@type = 'XCUIElementTypeStaticText']

As for comparing the date, you should look into concatenating (adding Strings together) the Date, Hour, Minute, etc array bits together into an actual date format. See what it gives you anyway.
Note: you may have to resort to RegEx to do a comparison of the seconds.

11

You mean putting //*[@type = ‘XCUIElementTypeStaticText’]
within my script? This adds a comment in the script because of the //

What is the correct syntax? Thanks.

fyi, I got the following error with the code below.

Mobile.comment("—Checking if timestamp contains two colons (HH:MM:SS) and timezone abbreviation (UTC/GMT)—")

xpath = “//*[@type = ‘XCUIElementTypeStaticText’]”

String time = Mobile.getText(findTestObject("//*[@type = ‘XCUIElementTypeStaticText’]"),10)

Mobile.comment("DATE AND TIME = " + time)

13

FYI, I tried to capture the same mobile element on Android and that worked. Why is it failing on IOS?

14

Also tried the code snippet below.
import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ConditionType

import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject

TestObject myNewObject = new TestObject(“XCUIElementTypeStaticText”)

date = myNewObject.addProperty(“xpath”, ConditionType.EQUALS, “//*[@type = ‘XCUIElementTypeStaticText’]”)

Mobile.comment("DATE AND TIME = " + date)

======================================

Date returns:

In this case, you are getting confused with the Test Object element and the contents that the TO will have. When you do the below, you are currently using the Test Object.

Mobile.comment("DATE AND TIME = " + date)

You now need to get the Test Object’s content, like below.

String currentMin = Mobile.getText(myNewObject ,10)
Mobile.comment("DATE AND TIME = " + currentMin )

16

I changed my script as you mentioned but the returned text is not what I expect to see.

import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ConditionType

import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject

TestObject myNewObject = new TestObject(“MyObjectName”)

date = myNewObject.addProperty(“xpath”, ConditionType.EQUALS, “//*[@type = ‘XCUIElementTypeStaticText’]”)

currentMin = Mobile.getText(date ,10)

Mobile.comment("DATE AND TIME = " + currentMin)

=======================================

2021-07-20 13:17:50.068 DEBUG HHMMSS with timezone abbreviation (724) - 30: comment("DATE AND TIME = " + currentMin)
2021-07-20 13:17:50.069 INFO c.k.k.c.keyword.builtin.CommentKeyword - DATE AND TIME = M3007-PV

17

Not quite like I had. See below:

18

Ok, I replaced the code as show below and still get DATE AND TIME = M3007-PV

import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ConditionType

import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject

TestObject myNewObject = new TestObject(“MyObjectName”)

myNewObject.addProperty(“xpath”,ConditionType.EQUALS, “//*[@type = ‘XCUIElementTypeStaticText’]”)

currentMin = Mobile.getText(myNewObject ,10)

Mobile.comment("DATE AND TIME = " + currentMin)
