使用 Firebase TestLab 测试 React Native App

Question

Is it possible to test a React Native (Expo Managed) app using Firebase TestLab?

I have not succeeded. Several possible routes, none successful thus far:

1) Is it possible to force a Robo Test to keep running for a specified period of time? Currently, the default Robo Test runs only very briefly (<~1min) then terminates 'successfully'. If I could just get the test to continue for longer, I could run all of the needed testing internally within the app. The Game Loop approach doesn't appear to be viable for a React Native app.

2) Is it possible to create a Robo Script that selects UI elements by testID? In React Native the control over the native rendered elements is minimal. It is, however, possible to specify testID on elements.

3) Is it possible to use Android Studio to generate a Robo Script on a React Native (Expo) app? When I've tried, I can get the app to run using Android Studio->Firebase->Record Robo Script, but when I perform actions on the device, they are not logged in the scrip (actually, nothing is so no script is produced, just empty JSON).

Thank you

Answer 1

1) Yes. From Web UI, this option is in Advanced options. Locally, you can pass the time in seconds using '--timeout-sec' parameter.

2) No, as of now, testID attribute is not supported by Roboscript (and by Robo).

3) No (as you've noticed from your experience). Roboscript recorder did not capture any of your actions, because it only works for regular Android widgets.

I read the question but you've not shared anything about what you've done so far, anything about what you've been struggling with, but you just asked questions without even given a snippet of code to orient us about your real need, because sometimes questions about opinions can quickly lead to speculations.

But about whetter you can use react native with Firebase Labtest, the answer is yes and to start there are two options depending on your skills with react native. You can manually integrate react native firebase into your project if you are an experienced react native developper and really know what you're doing. But you can also install react native firebase into your standart react native template by going to the react native firebase's website.
