Hey Joe, EarlGrey right now is based on XCTest. However, the next version being worked on right now should integrate EarlGrey with XCUITest. Do feel free to contribute.
Hi Mathew, EarlGrey already has some support for UIWebView / WKWebView used in hybrid apps. If you meant something else, i'd follow up with them on https://github.com/google/EarlGrey
Hello, I was unable to test WkWebview based Hybrid iOS application using EarlGrey. Can't seem to find a way to test the UI elements in a html which is loaded in my WkWebview. Is there a solution?
While this is a longer discussion, in a nutshell, this is the main advantage to using EarlGrey:
EarlGrey is a grey-box framework rather and a black box framework like XCUITest. You have access to the app's state and the app's variables which makes EarlGrey more versatile. You can create custom matchers, actions and assertions that can utilize all these features to provide a wider coverage.

Hi Everyone, I recently tried Earl grey as discussed above.
1.So,I installed Pod Earl Grey in my project.There after I can successfully add the line import EarlGrey in to my UI Tests.But as similar to code above I am not able to write the code.
This is exciting! Is it built on Xcode's existing UI Testing framework or XCTest?

Hi Everyone,
ReplyDeleteI recently tried Earl grey as discussed above.
1.So,I installed Pod Earl Grey in my project.There after I can successfully add the line import EarlGrey in to my UI Tests.But as similar to code above I am not able to write the code.
EarlGrey.selectElement(with: matcher)
.perform(action)
but, I am seeing EarlGreyImpl instead of EarlGrey.selectElement
2.what is the difference between EarlGrey and EarlgreyTests.
As is see the versions of it EarlGrey (1.16.0) and EarlGreyTest (2.2.1)
Will these versions make any difference.
3.In the above code I see there are GTX checks that are enabled is it required or just need to write the EarlGrey tests in test stubs.
As I used, app is crashing.
