Acessing Navigate Bar in Android With Appium

I need to automate a test that consists of simulating the touches on the navigate bar, it cannot be just the command.
I tried to simulate the touch with this:
TouchAction action = new TouchAction(driver);
action.tap(PointOption.point(530, 2400)).perform();
But appears the error that the Coordinate [x=530.0, y=2400.0] is outside of element rectangle.
And it needs to be simulating the touch on the screen.

A friend of mine have achieved the result you are looking for by reading the id for the page you want to tap on, in this case the id it's home
public AppiumWebElement HomeTab => AppiumDriver.FindElementById("com.package.appname/home");
and then using the following HomeTab.Click();

moveToElement mouse hovering function in Selenium WebDriver using Java not stable

I'm using Selenium 3.0.1 for running automation tests using TestNG.
In one test I'm trying to hover on an action menu and then click an option in that menu:
Actions builder = new Actions(getWebDriver());
builder.moveToElement(actionButton).build().perform();
But the test is not stable. I can see the menu opens but immediately closing, so the test fails because it's not finding the option any more.
I'm receiving this error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Must provide a location for a move action.
at org.openqa.selenium.interactions.MoveMouseAction.<init>(MoveMouseAction.java:30)
at org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions.moveToElement(Actions.java:251)
How can I check if the menu is open? the perform() method is returning void.
I notice if I put call the moveToElement twice, than the test is being more stable. Is there any elegant option of doing so?
Actions builder = new Actions(getWebDriver());
builder.moveToElement(actionButton).build().perform();
builder.moveToElement(actionButton).build().perform();
This how the menu looks like when we hover over it:
I find this issue:
https://sqa.stackexchange.com/questions/3467/issue-with-losing-focus-of-hover-command-when-the-mouse-is-outside-of-the-acti
which explains best my problem. unfortunately, still with no solution.

If it is not necessary for you to open the menu, please try clicking the option using JavascriptExecutor. JavascriptExecutor can click a hidden element as well, all that is necessary for the click to be triggered using JavascriptExecutor is that the element is present on the DOM.
Snippet (Java):
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click()", driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("hiddenOptionFromMenu")));

You can wait for the menu to appear after the hover with a FluentWait, like so:
FluentWait<> wait = new FluentWait<>(getWebDriver())
.withTimeout(driverTimeoutSeconds, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.pollingEvery(500, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
.ignoring(StaleElementReferenceException.class)
.ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class)
.ignoring(ElementNotVisibleException.class)
wait.until(x -> { return driver.findElement(menuElementBy); } );
If the mouse hover succeeded - the menu starts appearing - there's no reason you need to call it twice.

It seems like a timing issue.
If the menu has a transition effect, then add a delay of the duration of the effect:
new Actions(driver)
.moveToElement(menu)
.pause(100) // duration of the transition effect in ms
.perform();
submenu.click();
You could also wait for the targeted element to become visible and steady (same position returned twice in a row).

Cannot click element with IEDriverServer

I have an element on a web page that only becomes visible after clicking its parent element. So after clicking a demo in a list of demo's, a row of icons which represent actions for the selected demo is revealed. The following code works fine with both webdriver and chromedriver:
demo.click(); //click demo
waitForElementIsDisplayed(demoReservation_btn); //wait until reservation icon is displayed
demoReservation_btn.click(); //click icon
Originally i was getting a StaleElementReferenceException and i attempted to fix this by having a try/catch block within a while loop that would continue looping until the icon was clicked. This caused IEDriverServer to crash after a couple of loops.
I have also tried wrapping it up in an Action like so:
Action action = new Action(driver);
action.click(demo).click(demoReservation_btn).build().perform()
This results in a NoSuchElementException.
I know there are some problems mentioned in the documentation about browser focus and hovering over elements, but i dont believe this is the problem. I have tried a couple of other things like adding moverToElement to the action, hovering over the element but have had no success with these. I believe one possible solution is to use a javascript executor, but i would like to avoid this approach if possible, any other suggestions?
EDIT
IEDriverServer setup:
File file = new File("IEDriverServer.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
return driver;

Try disabling Native events of IE
DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
cap.setCapability("nativeEvents",false);
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(cap);
I had better result using that in C# version. Read this to learn why you may need to do this.

Handle Window Pop Up in Selenium

I am working with Selenium, now there is a condition:
when I hit a button in my webpage a window pop up opens up.
Now I have to click a radio button (one out of two, it will work even if we send a TAB ) and then click an OK button. I searched in the net and got to know about "driver.getWindowHandle()".
But I don't have any idea dealing with the newly opened window popup.
Need help in this.

For switching purpose u can use enhanced for loop:
for (String winHandle : objDriver.getWindowHandles()) {
objDriver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
}
So it will switch the control from one driver window to child windows.
To interact with elements on the window try to find element with whatever tool u r using and perform the required action after switching to the window.
To return back to parent window you can use the same loop or use:
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

Check my answer in this post and also read the comments to help you understand the difference between getWindowHandle() and getWindowHandles()
Java: focus is not on pop-window during window handling

We handled this situation using AutoItX - https://www.autoitscript.com/site/ in our Windows/IE C# project:
AutoItX3 autoIt = new AutoItX3();
var handle = autoIt.WinWaitActive("[window title]", "", 20);
Assert.IsTrue(handle != 0", string.Format("Was not able to find: {0}", [window title]);
autoIt.Send("{ESCAPE}"); // tab may work as well for selection
The pop up was a Windows window, and not part of IE, therefore the WebDriver didn't know about it.
Hope this helps.

Selenium Webdriver screenshots do not show driver errors

I'm creating screenshots in my testcases with selenium webdriver, and while these indeed show what is visible in my web application, it doesn't show popups created by the browser.
I have found that in IE in some cases, my app triggers a JS debug popup in IE. This is of course an error and breaks the rest of my test, but the screenshot does not show the error. I presume this is because it's an IE native popup, rather than one trigger by my application.
Is it possible to get this included in the screenshots? I was thinking of maybe creating the screenshot with Robot#createScreenCapture() but obviously that wouldn't show anything useful if the browser is minimized.
So, a few possible solutions:
- can you detect if an error message pops up in a browser
- is it possible to maximise/focus the browser while running?
- can you take screenshots from selenium with the popups showing?

Selenium will take a screenshot that represents the rendered DOM that the browser shows the end user by intercepting the rendered image that the browser is displaying and taking a copy of it.
It does not take a desktop screenshot so the screenshots shown will not show anything covering the browser window. JavaScript alerts are not part of the rendered DOM so you will not see these in Selenium screenshots.

Maybe because the driver is not with the Alert/Window active?
You could try something like this:
private void CheckForOtherWindows()
{
//Check for any other window open
if (driver.WindowHandles.Count > 0)
{
foreach (string window in driver.WindowHandles)
{
driver.SwitchTo().Window(window);
TakeScreenshot();
}
}
//Check for alert window
try
{
driver.SwitchTo().Alert();
TakeScreenshot();
}
catch
{
//Nothing
}
}
This is not tested, not sure if works. Just giving the idea. :)
Edit:
To maximize the window is easy:
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
Hope it helps.

You can use this as below:
FileUtils.copyFile(((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE), new File("E:\\ScreenShot\\screenshot.png"));
