Description
Currently Appium tests use XPath selectors, which are sloppy and buggy. For example, we are forced to select certain elements quite a few times in a row to get the one that we need:
return driver
.waitForElementByXPath('//android.widget.TextView[@text="Gallery"]', 20000)
.elementByXPath('//android.widget.TextView[@text="Gallery"]') // multiple calls here for an Android bug:
.elementByXPath('//android.widget.TextView[@text="Gallery"]') // on Windows + Android emulator, element selection
.elementByXPath('//android.widget.TextView[@text="Gallery"]') // is completely wonky. Unfortunately duplicating element()
.elementByXPath('//android.widget.TextView[@text="Gallery"]') // calls is the only workaround identified thus far.
