Updating an EditText with Espresso

Question

I\'m attempting to update an EditText as part of an Espresso test with:

onView(allOf(withClassName(endsWith(\"EditText\")), withText(is(\"Test\"         


        

Answer 1

Three things to try:

1. You can run performs in succession.

onView(...)
    .perform(clearText(), typeText("Some Text"));

2. There is a recorded issue on the Espresso page which was marked as invalid (but is still very much a bug). A workaround for this is to pause the test in-between performs.

public void test01(){
    onView(...).perform(clearText(), typeText("Some Text"));
    pauseTestFor(500);
    onView(...).perform(clearText(), typeText("Some Text"));
}

private void pauseTestFor(long milliseconds) {
    try {
        Thread.sleep(milliseconds);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

3. Are you absolutely sure that your EditText contains the text, "Test"?
