get all child elements on Appium 1.2

i'm trying to update Appium version from 0.16 to 1.2 (ios, Java) on the old version i'm using webElement.findElements(By.xpath("*")) to get all webElement's child elements. this syntax doesn't work on 1.2 version.

any ideas how can i get all child elements?

Thanks,

Idan

I would recommend you to consider CSS selector alternative as CSS working faster than xPath. So the common rule is following:

  • B as a descendant of A : children, grandchildren etc.

      A B

  • B as a child of A

     A > B

  • all elements

     *

    So select all child elements from all elements on the page: 

     * > *

So in java it be:

List<WebElement> a = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("* > *"));

Hope this helps you.
