testID prop on FontAwesomeIcon cannot be used to select the element in detox e2e test

RonaldvdH commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug I have refactored the icons in my app to use the "FontAwesomeIcon" from @fortawesome/react-native-fontawesome. The type shows an optional testID prop, but when i fill it Detox cannot find it.

Reproducible test case Run and build the detox react-native example https://github.com/wix/Detox/tree/master/examples/demo-react-native add one fontAwesomeIcon and try to select it with the testID

Expected behavior I expect the testID to work with test runners like Detox with the FontAwesomeIcon

Tested on iOS simulator.

Additional context I have fixed my tests after the refactor to wrap all the icons with a View component or something that was fitting to the situation so the testID is not directly on the icon component.
