Hi guys, is using Modifier object to something like,

Button(onClick = { state.counter++ }, modifier = Modifier.tag("testTag"))

but on my UiTests the method findByTag is not recognizing the button, any insights on this?

[Adam Powell]

If this is a findByTag that returns a View it won't work with compose; different kinds of tags attached to different kinds of objects 🙂

[Adam Powell]

Compose generates UI out of smaller subcomponents than Views so the view-based test APIs can't get to the right level of granularity

You need to use TestTag instead for testing, Modifier.tag is a mechanism used by layouts in a different context. We should probably clean this up 🙂

[Adam Powell]

ah, listen to @Mihai Popa then instead of me on this 🙂

@Mihai Popa I was reading the documentation; this TestTag acts in a similar way as preview? that is a kind of utility?

[kagomez]

@Composable fun TestTag(
    tag: "acceptButton", 
    children: acceptButton()
): Unit

?? is like that how it is supposed to work?

you know what… nvm for some reason I needed to clear cache and restart in order to see the object
