Add a Login Feature
  • In the folder structure /features/ create a new feature:

login.feature

Feature: Login feature

  Scenario: As a valid user I can log into my app
    When I press "Login"
    Then I see "Specific Text on Next Activity Screen"
  • In the folder structure /features/step_definitions/ create a new file:

login_steps.rb

require 'calabash-android/calabash_steps'
require 'calabash-android/operations'
extend Calabash::Android::Operations


Given(/^I try to login$/) do 
  tap("button marked:'Login'")
end

Then(/^I should see the error message "(.*?)"$/) do |my_message|
  text_view = query("textView marked:'myTextView' {text CONTAINS '#{my_message}'}")
  raise "The configuration message '#{my_message}' is not visible in the View." unless text_view.any?
end
