test runs fine on iOS, but tails on Android

[compojoom]

I have a simple login test:

  it('should be able to login', async () => {
    await element(by.id('login')).tap()
    await expect(element(by.id('LoginScreen'))).toBeVisible()
    await element(by.id('email')).typeText('[email protected]')
    await element(by.id('password')).replaceText('xxx')
    await element(by.id('loginButton')).tap()
    await expect(element(by.id('companiesScreen'))).toBeVisible()
  })

This works fine on iOS. The user is logged in and sees the companiesScreen. The test fails on Android at the last line:
await expect(element(by.id('companiesScreen'))).toBeVisible()

If I change this to:
await waitFor(element(by.id('companiesScreen'))).toBeVisible().withTimeout(4000)

Then it works on android as well. The navigation in our app is done by react-native-router-flux, which users react-navigation.
WaitFor works, but it defeats the purpose of all this. I have another tests that also fail with the same conditions... Is this expected behavior or a bug?

Doesn't look like an expected behavior to me.

Please provide the all the logs and information as requested in the issue template.

Also, since we don't use JS navigation solutions, could you please recreate this in a minimal demo project and upload it for us? Thanks

What version of react native do you use?
Is there any setTimeout in your code which is set to run with delay smaller than 1500ms?

thanks for the replies guys! So I tried to recreate the issue in a simple example, but it turns out that it's not react-native-router-flux... I took their example and added detox to it, but there I can run the tests on iOS and android. It must be something else in my code. I have redux and firebase - so it might be related to the network requests. Will try to add them to the sample project and see if I'll manage to recreate the issue. Please leave the issue open a little longer.

[LeoNatan]

Sure. The bot might close it, but we can always reopen.

It is important to note which version of react-native your project uses, as there have been known-incompatibilities with wix-detox from time to time. Last time I was able to use them together was RN 49.
