How to use firebase TestLab with react native

I was trying to run a robo test for my react native app on firebase TestLab, but I couldn't get the robo test pass login.

The first problem is that it doesn't type in email and password.

In my js file I had:

<Input ... testID="usernameInput" />
<Input ... testID="passwordInput" />

and I put this in my firebase console

enter image description here

However, it didn't work at all. I checked the video recording, it was not typed in.

Second problem is that even if I hard code my username and password in debug apk, it won't even click on the login button which is defined as:

<Button onClick={() => {this.handleLogin()}}>Login</Button>

I wonder what is happening here. Did anyone ever got firebase TestLab robo test working with react native app?

My suggestion is to do one of these:

  1. Create a "deep link" with a long random key that will auto-login as a test user to your app (and bypass the login flow), you can provide this deep link to the robo test as an initial start point. (e.g. myapp://6zOOT9b1duKykHqE8bLFROGymYQDsRXn)

  2. Create a "special" binary to test using the robo test which has the user name and password for your test user as a default in the text inputs (so the robo test will just sign in by clicking on the button)

Currently, Robo only allows you to pre-fill form fields that can be identified uniquely by native Android resource IDs (like an EditText widget). I'm not too familiar with react native, but it looks like it will generate a native Android app. That's probably why Robo can navigate your app at all -- it's using some native Android widgets to implement your UI. But if you can get React to use native Android resource IDs (or figure out which resource IDs are already being used), and reference those names in your test, that might work.
