Troubleshooting

If your test have failed, you should receive an email with a video of the failed test.

Make sure text matches your app content​

If you see this message a few times, it means Flashlight wasn't able to find the text you passed in your app

Launch app "your.app.id"... ✅
Assert that ".*The text.*" is visible... ❌

Compare with the video of the failed test to make sure the app content was what you had expected.

Use Maestro locally​

Flashlight runs Maestro tests in the cloud, so if the test is failing and still can't figure out why, it could be useful to test it locally on a device.

See how to:

Check wordings with Maestro Studio​

Using Maestro Studio, you can check if the wording you passed to Flashlight matches what Maestro expects.

Run Maestro test locally​

You can also run your test

Since in the cloud, devices will have a blank state, it might be useful to clear data on your local device to reproduce the same behavior by adding a clearState(https://maestro.mobile.dev/api-reference/commands/clearstate) step, e.g.:

appId: your.app.id
---
- clearState
- launchApp
- tapOn: "Text on the screen"
