Detox: Detox will not tap button because it says that it is not visible enough.

Description

I have a screen where there is a button to switch views. In my tests, detox finds the button by testID but tells me that the button is not visible. Screenshots and logs below to give more context and detail.

  • [X ] I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces

Reproduction

  1. I don’t know how exactly one could reproduce it as it is a specific implementation but I have tried moving the testID to various different elements including the TouchableOpacity’s parent View and the TO’s inner Text component and I get the same error messages each time.

Expected behavior

I am trying to select the button shown below. It is expected that detox will find the button and tap it.

I’ll push my debug tool in a few minutes, where we’ll be able to better look at what Detox sees.
