I have always click on the input before type text on the tests like humans, not robots. And don’t see any problems.
Hey @mrozbarry, it makes it hard for us to track progress of closed issues. So if you have any progress regarding keyboard handling please open a new issue, or even better, if you want to offer a PR with bug fix or documentation we’ll gladly accept it.
I don’t remember toggling keyboard setting as @LeoNatan mentions. However, when I check Hardware/Keyboard in my simulator, I can see that SW keyboard is turned off.
It made sense to turn it on, and I could see the difference right away, when focusing on input field.
Running my test case after this change, it worked as I would expect.
This can happen if you’ve played around with CMD+H (soft keyboard) or CMD+SHIFT+H (hardware keyboard). Restore those to default and make sure that the keyboard appears on screen when making a text field a first responder. Or use
replaceText.
