Detox: device.setOrientation() seems to not be working on iPad simulator

Created on 16 Oct 2020  Â·  10Comments  Â·  Source: wix/Detox

Description

Hi, when I call await device.setOrientation('landscape'); on an iPad simulator in portrait mode, nothing happens.

However, it works properly on iPhone simulators; I've tried both the iPhone 11 and iPhone 8; using the same code.

Reproduction

For me it happens on a iPad Pro (9.7-inch) simulator with iOS 14.

  1. In XCode simulators, add a device with type iPad Pro (9.7-inch) and OS version iOS 14.0
  2. With the device in portrait mode, run a simple detox test with await device.setOrientation('landscape');
  3. The device won't rotate.

The same test will make the device rotate on my iPhone simulators.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Detox: ^17.9.0
  • React Native: 0.61.5
  • Node: v10.21.0
  • Device: iPad Pro (9.7-inch)
  • Xcode: 12.0.1
  • iOS: 14.0
  • macOS: 10.15.7

Logs

Device and verbose Detox logs

  • [x] I have run my tests using the --loglevel trace argument and am providing the verbose log below:

With this simple test:

it(`rotates to landscape`, async () => {
  await device.setOrientation("landscape");
})

The iPad did not rotate and this is the verbose logs:

Check that your project’s iPad settings allow for different orientations. If it works for iPhone, it should work for iPad.

LeoNatan picture LeoNatan on 17 Oct 2020

I have set full device orientation for both iPad and iPhone in my project’s settings:

I can manually rotate my iPad using the keyboard shortcuts and my application is properly rotating as well: https://share.getcloudapp.com/E0urjGGx

But, this code snippet only works on non iPad devices:

import { device } from 'detox';

const sleep = async (delay) => new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, delay));

it(`rotates to landscape`, async () => {
  await device.setOrientation('landscape');
  await sleep(2000);
  await device.setOrientation('portrait');
  await sleep(2000);
  await device.setOrientation('landscape');
});

I tried toggling that setting:

Apart from this, I am not aware of any other settings that might affect the rotation behaviour? 🤔

I've also tried the iPad mini 4 and the iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (4th generation) without any luck.

ericmatte picture ericmatte on 18 Oct 2020

Ok, thanks for verifying. I will take a look soon.

LeoNatan picture LeoNatan on 18 Oct 2020

Reproduced. Investigating.

It seems related to multiple app support. So far, I have not found a solution. As a workaround, you can enable the "Require full screen" check box in Xcode. You probably shouldn't commit this change, as your users won't be able to use iPad multitasking features with your app, but for testing, that's fine.

LeoNatan picture LeoNatan on 18 Oct 2020

OK, so it seems like this isn't possible. The system orientation, in apps which are not full screen, is fully controlled by the SpringBoard process, and we currently do not have a way to signal that to do the rotation. Once we add support for XCUITest, this will be possible.

For the time being, I am introducing an assertion into the setOrientation() API that will check for the right conditions, and fail the test if setting an orientation is not supported.

In order to use the workaround in production, you can use PlistBuddy to inject UIRequiresFullScreen=true in your app's Info.plist.

LeoNatan picture LeoNatan on 18 Oct 2020

Ok, I understand.

When turning on the Require full screen setting, It is indeed working. Good idea to use PlistBuddy.
For my use case, I've made a temporary fix in the detox.config.js config:

    "ios.sim.debug": {
      "binaryPath": "ios/build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/example.app",
-     "build": "xcodebuild -project ios/example.xcodeproj -UseNewBuildSystem=NO -scheme example -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator -derivedDataPath ios/build",
+     "build": "xcodebuild -project ios/example.xcodeproj -UseNewBuildSystem=NO -scheme example -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator -derivedDataPath ios/build && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Add :UIRequiresFullScreen bool true' ios/build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/example.app/Info.plist",
      "type": "ios.simulator",
      "device": {
        "type": "iPhone 11 Pro"
      }
    },

Thank you for you fast replies and for taking the time to investigate this issue!

ericmatte picture ericmatte on 18 Oct 2020

Cheers. We will eventually support this when we move to XCUITest.

One suggestion, it’s probably a better idea to have the script modify the Info.plist of the build product, not your source.

LeoNatan picture LeoNatan on 18 Oct 2020

Good point; the build folder is untracked so we don't have any chances to commit that change by mistake.
I've updated my https://github.com/wix/Detox/issues/2418#issuecomment-711421149 to edit the Info.plist of the build product.
