Element - Axilio

Python screen.find_text() and screen.find_all_text() return Element values; Go returns the corresponding mobile.Element. An element is data from one observed screen: what was recognized and where. It has no actions. To act on something, use a locator, or pass element.center to a coordinate action.

element = driver.observe().find_text("Sign in")
if element is not None:
    print(element.center, element.confidence)
    driver.tap(element.center)

screen, err := driver.Observe()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
element := screen.FindText("Sign in", false)
if element != nil {
    fmt.Println(element.Center, element.Confidence)
    if err := driver.Tap(element.Center); err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
}

An element’s position is from the moment the screen was observed. If the screen may have changed since, tap with a locator instead, which finds the target again at the moment it acts. The CLI prints the same element data in table or JSON output. There is no REST element resource.
