I face that error while using @AndroidFindBy although when I try to find an element by the findElement function I didn't face that error despite using the same Xpath in the two cases, The error said that name isn't an attribute but I didn't use 'name' to identify element That is my loginscreenobject class where I identify the elements in that screen
public class LoginScreenObjects extends Base {
public LoginScreenObjects()
{
System.out.println("Cout"+driver);
PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);
}
//identify the login screen elements
@AndroidFindBy(xpath ="//android.widget.EditText[@text='Email']")
private WebElement email_field;
@AndroidFindBy(xpath="//android.widget.EditText[@text='Password']")
private WebElement password_field;
@AndroidFindBy(xpath="//android.widget.Button[@text='Sign in']")
private WebElement login_btn;
//identify the login screen functions
//Function1:insert email and password
public void fillemailAndpasword(String email,String Password) {
email_field.sendKeys(email);
password_field.sendKeys(Password);
}
//Function2:click on the login button
public void click_on_loginbtn() {
login_btn.click();
}
//Function3:Is login button enabled
public boolean Is_logintn_enabled() {
return login_btn.isEnabled();
}
//Function4:Clear Email field and password field
public void ClearEmailAndPass() {
email_field.clear();
password_field.clear();
}
}And that is my testCase
public class LoginScreenTest extends Base {
//Create an object from the LoginScreenObjects class
LoginScreenObjects logscreen=new LoginScreenObjects();
@Test
public void Tc_01()
{
logscreen.fillemailAndpasword("m8@sbs.com", "536860574604");
logscreen.click_on_loginbtn();
}
}And that is the error that appear when I run my testcase
org.openqa.selenium.InvalidSelectorException: Unsupported CSS selector '*[name='email_field']'. Reason: 'Error: 'name' is not a valid attribute.
