Testing if an element is visible with Xcode 7 UITest

Question

I want to verify if an element is visible or not depending on its .hidden property but I don\'t find a valid way to do that using the new Xcode 7 UI test stuff.

Answer 1

My solution is to add accessibilityIdentifier dynamicly

func someMethod() {
    label.isHidden = true
    label. accessibilityIdentifier = "isHidden"
}

func someOtherMethod {
    label.isHidden = false
    label. accessibilityIdentifier = "isVisible"
}

and the in UITest you can use it as

if app.staticTexts["MyLabel"].identifier == "isHidden" {
    dosomething()
}
