the scenario is: when click button (2), the (1) pop up message will showup. I could find element2 by id by appium, but I can not element1 by appium.

There might be a race condition. Try to wait until the element is present (because, as you can see, it's visible attribute is false).

BeggarMainFact commented 6 years ago

@mykola-mokhnach Thanks for quick response! I wait for about 80s, the visible is still false, and you could see the element have been there indeed. do you have any advise about when the visible will be true? I am thinking whether the developer code has some problem that did not change correct attribute for this element. whether it need developer to set the visible attribute when the element is loaded?

Yes, it's more likely a dev issue that visible property of this element is set to false.
