bug: Android can't inspect BottomSheetDialogFragment elements

[omerdurmaz2]

Is this an issue specifically with Appium Inspector?

• [X] I have verified that my issue does not occur with Appium, and should be investigated as an Appium Inspector issue

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

When i try to inspect this bottomsheet, I only see one element no child components.

Expected Behavior

I want to see the child elements in inspector just like this image. One of my bottomsheet works fine but the other one seems like one component no child component.

Operating System

Mac

Appium Inspector Version

2024.6.1

Appium Version

2.10.3

Further Information

Note: Both of them BottomSheetDialogFragment and both of them developed with jetpack compose. What am i missing? Note: And I have already added testTag and

semantics {
    testTagsAsResourceId = true
}

modifiers.

I'm not sure if anything can be done from the Inspector side here. The page source is retrieved using Google's UiAutomator framework, and the Appium server and Inspector only parse it. But looking at your first screenshot:

• The accessibility id is not visible anywhere in the sheet itself
• The elementId is blank, so the element likely changed after the last screenshot/page source retrieval

If the element details stay the same after refreshing the page source, then it is likely that the issue lies somewhere in your application code. Unfortunately I'm not an Android developer myself, so I can't help you with Compose questions; the only thing I know is the need for testTags, which you are already using.

Also, appium espresso driver has a built-in compose automation support. Check https://github.com/appium/appium-espresso-driver?tab=readme-ov-file#jetpack-compose-support for more details
