feature request: Search option at the App Source section
maioni opened this issue · 3 comments
Current Behavior
Why there's no SEARCH option at the App Source section (at Appium Inspector)?
It could help a lot, sometimes I can't find elements by clicking on it, so I have to copy all the source to a note text application, find something I need, and after it, goes back to inspector to make sure I can find it with a selector I created.
An option to search here could help.
Thank you!
Suggested Solution
Add a Search text option to the App Source section.
After type the input, it would highlight the element or elements found. (With a find next or find previous option)
Additional Information
I got this idea when automating a sample application SWAG LABS, after opened the menu and try to click on options (the logout option), it was selecting the elements under the menu, and not from menu.
So I had to copy all the SOURCE, and try to find the menu elements by text, and goes back to Inspector to validate my current selector.
Yeah I suppose a simple CMD+F doesn't work in the source box. Seems like a reasonable request to be able to search inside the source tree. Not sure how easy it would be to implement though! Might not be worth it if it's high effort
