Xcode UITesting - how to move UISlider?

Question

Is there a way to move UISliderto UITeststarget in Xcode? I really need to move it from code. Is it possible?

Answer 1

• Get your slider:

  let app = XCUIApplication()
  let timeSlider = app.sliders["timeSlider"]
  

• Adjust its value:

  timeSlider.adjustToNormalizedSliderPosition(0.9)
  

Answer 2

I could not get adjustToNormalizedSliderPositionto work with my application slider. I saw some people post online that they also did not work for them. Does it work for others here?

A less useful way to customize the slider is to search for an element, its duration, and then drag it to another element:

slider.pressForDuration(duration: 0.05, thenDragToElement: anotherElement)

Answer 3

, adjustToNormalizedSliderPosition.

import XCTest

extension XCUIElement {

    open func adjust(toNormalizedSliderValue normalizedSliderValue: CGFloat) {
        let start = coordinate(withNormalizedOffset: CGVector(dx: 0.0, dy: 0.0))
        let end = coordinate(withNormalizedOffset: CGVector(dx: normalizedSliderValue, dy: 0.0))
        start.press(forDuration: 0.05, thenDragTo: end)
    }

}

Then you only need to call:

app.sliders["Your Slider Identifier"].adjust(toNormalizedSliderValue: 0.5)
