How to Test That Statictexts Contains a String Using Xctest

How to test that staticTexts contains a string using XCTest

First, you need to set an accessibility identifier for the static text object you want to access. This will allow you to find it without searching for the string it is displaying.

// Your app code
label.accessibilityIdentifier = "myLabel"

Then you can assert whether the string displayed is the string you want by writing a test by calling .label on the XCUIElement to get the contents of the displayed string:

// Find the label
let myLabel = app.staticTexts["myLabel"]
// Check the string displayed on the label is correct
XCTAssertEqual("Expected string", myLabel.label)

To check it contains a certain string, use range(of:), which will return nil if the string you give is not found.

XCTAssertNotNil(myLabel.label.range(of:"expected part"))

Finding an element in UI Test with only substring Xcode

You can use an NSPredicate to find static texts containing a partial word/phrase, using the containing(_:) method on XCUIElementQuery.

let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "label CONTAINS 'create account'")
let app = XCUIApplication()
let createAccountText = app.webViews.links.containing(predicate)
createAccountText.tap()

Xcode ui test: staticTexts start with

You can use a BEGINSWITH predicate to check if an element starts with a prefix.

let app = XCUIApplication()
let faxPredicate = NSPredicate(format: "label BEGINSWITH 'Fax: '")
let faxLabel = app.staticTexts.element(matching: faxPredicate)
XCTAssert(faxLabel.exists)

Here's a working example for selecting elements with a different BEGINSWITH predicate, a picker with multiple wheels.

How to print all the staticTexts in XCUITest

You can use something like that:

    for staticText in app.staticTexts.allElementsBoundByIndex {
        if staticText.label == "test" {

        }
    }

XCTestCase - how to assert on a NSTextView containing String?

Simply value should do.

It's available on XCUIElementAttributes and is of type Any? that varies based on the type of the element.

XCTAssertEqual(prefs.textViews.firstMatch.value as! String, 
               "Enter text below")

How can I locate an XCUIElement searching by partial label text in Swift?

You can find elements with a predicate. Use the containing(_ predicate: NSPredicate) -> XCUIElementQuery method from XCUIElementQuery.

let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "label CONTAINS[c] 'Item'")
let labels = XCUIApplication().staticTexts.containing(predicate)
