How to compose a Patrol finder to find a widget that contains two Text descendants?

[proximilian]

Hello guys,

I stuck on the following issue -> I would like to to tap on the first widget of a listView, but that widget must contain both e.g. 'text1' and 'text2'. These Text are both descendants of the widget. As far as I am familiar with Patrols documentation in case of only one Text I would use e.g. $(#ExampleListView).$(ExampleWidgetType).containing('text1').tap()
My question is how to add the additional 'text2' that must be contained by the widget as well? Or any suggestion for a workaround?

Thanks in advance, guys :)

Hi again, @proximilian :)

Does the following work for you?

$(#ExampleListView).$(ExampleWidgetType).containing('text1').containing('text2').tap();

Thanks for the really quick response.
I was thinking of it actually. Still haven't try it because I thought that in that way the second 'containing widget' will be considered as descendant of the previous one. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. So in my case both Texts are descendants of the widget I want to tap and in some way they can be considered as siblings each to other. I'll try and I will let you know then.

containing is a lookahead check – it looks ahead but returns the same PatrolFinder that it was called on.

So:

$(ExampleListTile).containing('User name').containing('user@email.com').containing(FollowButton).tap();

will still tap on ExampleListTile – it's just that the ExampleListTile (that will be tapped on) will meet the conditions you imposed on it with containing().

I think we should mention this in the docs.

Really thanks for the clarifications. It should work in my case then. I will try it and will share tomorrow.

Hello again @bartekpacia,
Sorry for the short delay, but had some other issues.
Unfortunately, the suggested following way didn't work: $(#ExampleListView).$(ExampleWidgetType).containing('text1').containing('text2').tap();
When trying it, the test stuck without any failure or any log. Just stuck, so I needed to terminated it manually. When I use only one 'containing' method, the test continues without problem, but in that way I cannot tap on the wanted widget that must contain the both Text descendants. Any other ideas that come to your mind?

I guess you can try $(#ExampleListView).$(Scrollable). etc...
ListViews are tricky as it's in the docs:
