Unmask "Invisible" Elements in XML
We’ve introduced a new toggle button in both Sofy Lab and Offline Editing that allows you to unmask XML elements marked as "Invisible".
With this toggle enabled, you can now view and interact with hidden components directly, without needing to modify any test case settings or app configurations.
This makes it easier to inspect and work with all UI elements during test authoring or validation, especially those not visible in the default UI rendering.
In Sofy Lab (During Session):
- Acquire a device
- Once your application has launched, click on the Element Finder
- You can then toggle the Show Invisible Elements and our Element Finder will start unmasking all elements for you to visualize.
In addition to visualizing all hidden elements, you can also interact with them in your automation. This includes support during Recording for:
- Creating Asserts
- Saving Test Case Variables
- Creating Click action-steps (You can visualize the attributes of hidden elements with the Element Finder, and use manual override functionality to "select" the hidden element using resourceIDs, Content Description, Text, etc).
