I'm testing a mobile app using appium + selenium + java
I have an element that I'm trying to find (in order to click on later) by using an xpath.
Here is the xpath: //android.widget.TextView[@text='Mon email']
When I use the Appium inspector in order to find the element, it works (and I can "tap" on it using said Appium inspector).
However, when I try to find the same element using my java program, I get a "No such element" error even though the app open as it should (and in far less than 10 seconds):
org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: Expected condition failed: waiting for presence of element located by: By.xpath: //android.widget.TextView[@text='Mon email'] (tried for 10 second(s) with 500 milliseconds interval)

Here is the code I'm using:
AppiumDriver<MobileElement> driver = null;
@Before
public void setDriver() {
//Set the Desired Capabilities
DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability("deviceName", "My Phone");
caps.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
caps.setCapability("appPackage", "com.something.something");
caps.setCapability("appActivity", "com.something.something.MainActivity");
//Instantiate Appium Driver
try {
driver = new AndroidDriver<>(new URL("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub"), caps);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
@When("I click on text {string} from class {string}")
public void iClickOnTextFromClass(String text, String myClass) {
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//"+myClass+"[@text='"+text+"']")));
MobileElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//"+myClass+"[@text='"+text+"']"));
element.click();
}
[...]
iClickOnTextFromClass("Mon email", "android.widget.TextView");
For what it's worth, my code is perfectly working when I'm using it on "Google Play" :
caps.setCapability("appPackage", "com.android.vending");
caps.setCapability("appActivity", "com.google.android.finsky.activities.MainActivity");
[...]
iClickOnTextFromClass("Meilleurs classements", "android.widget.TextView");
I tried to change my xpath to //*[contains(@text, 'email')] but it didn't solve the issue (still not working on my app using java, but working on "google play" using java and working on my app using "Appium Inspector").
So, any idea on how I can solve this so I'm finally able to find my element using java (for automated tests)?
