[Expo] All commands that deal with testID elements do not work

See original GitHub issue

Hey-hey

Thanks for such a promising tool. Installation & setup was pretty easy. Taking & comparing screenshots work flawlessly, but any action that needs element(press, longPress, changeText, toExist) matching throws error Failed: "Element not found: ZZZZZZZ".

Relevant for both iOS & Android, release build(can’t try debug as i’m using Expo custom dev client). What could be the problem and how to debug it?

Thanks both. I’ll have to look into this further once I get back on my laptop, as in travelling at the moment.

There are example projects at https://github.com/manosim/react-native-owl-demo and in the example directory of this repo that both demonstrate the functionality, so I’m not sure what’s causing the issue. Perhaps you can spot some omission from the setup docs that is causing the problem?

I’ll try what you suggested @simonedif and create a new RN 0.68.2 project and see if I encounter the same issue.

Hi, in my Expo project I just added in the presets (babel.config.js) 'module:metro-react-native-babel-preset' and it’s works.

Thanks for the hint. Could You please show full babel.config.js source? 'module:metro-react-native-babel-preset' is the part of already existing 'babel-preset-expo' preset, so it conflicts for me if added after expo preset.
