iOS UITest: How to test custom accessibility actions?











up vote

favorite












I want to support VoiceOver. I have an UIButton inside of an UITableViewCell. According to a best practice I have disabled the button for accessibility (.isAccessibilityElement = false) and implemented a custom accessibility action for the cell (accessibilityCustomActions, NSAccessibilityCustomAction).



This way VoiceOver would not find and read the button as an own element. To make the feature behind the button accessible, I have added a custom accessibility action to the cell. With the custom action the user can select the action with swipe up and down. And then perform it with double-tap.



Now I want to test this action with an UITest. It's not possible to access the button inside of an UITest, because its disabled for accessibility.



How can I perform a custom accessibility action inside of an UITest?

I tried all solutions from that topic with/without GlobalKey for Scaffold and Form but the problem wasn't fixed. I tried to build a authentication form with login and signup. But the keyboard doesn't show when I tap the TextFormField at the first time. Then I try to input some letter from physical keyboard, the widget is rebuilt. Like this: login screen Nothing to be log when I run flutter run --verbose, so I logged manually. Every tapping on field, the widget called dispose -> init -> build.
