Error clicking a UI element by xpath with ios-driver about hsac-fitnesse-fixtures HOT 5 CLOSED

(I assume my fixture throws the same exception when using the same xPath as you do for your own fixture, i.e. Mountain 5 instead of 1)

This seems to be caused by my fixture's JavaScript call to determine whether the requested element already is on screen, or scrolling is required. It appears the getBoundingClientRect() method is not supported on an iPhone (based on a quick Google and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2792185/what-is-the-equivalent-of-getboundingclientrect-on-iphone-mobile-safari). The question on StackOverflow suggests it does work on an iPad, can you try that?

I have not used my fixture with iOS yet, and would like to be able to do so in the near future. So I really appreciate your feedback on your experiences and hope that we can make it work for you.

Are you running my fixtures from source? I would like to find out whether we can make it work for you if you change the JavaScript call to use the alternate properties suggested in http://help.dottoro.com/ljvmcrrn.php (pointed to by one of the stack overflow answers), i.e. the offsetLeft, offsetTop, offsetWidth and offsetHeight properties. If that does not work we can probably disable the on screen check altogether if the getBoundingClientRect function does not exist.

I committed a change that will at least not break the application if getBoundingClientRect() is undefined. Can you try what that does for you?

Ok, I will try that now. I also found this:

http://selenium-python.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api.html#module-selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement

location_once_scrolled_into_view
THIS PROPERTY MAY CHANGE WITHOUT WARNING. Use this to discover where on the screen an element is so that we can click it. This method should cause the element to be scrolled into view.

Returns the top lefthand corner location on the screen, or None if the element is not visible.

Your fix worked! Thanks!

I will try clicking by name now.

location_once_scrolled_into_view (or a similarly named method) does not exist in the Java Selenium client (as far as I see).
