UI Testing Failure - Neither element nor any descendant has keyboard focus on secureTextField

Question

This is my case:

let passwordSecureTextField = app.secureTextFields[\"password\"]
passwordSecureTextField.tap()
passwordSecureTextField.typeText(\"wrong_pass         


        

Answer 1

We encountered the same error when setting the accessibilityIdentifier value for a custom view (UIStackView subclass) containing UIControl subviews. In that case XCTest was unable to get the keyboard focus for the descendent elements.

Our solution was simply to remove the accessibilityIdentifier from our parent view and set the accessibilityIdentifier for the subviews through dedicated properties.
