Unexpected Selector Translation with @AndroidFindBy and AppiumFieldDecorator

[dipakkumar1225]

Description

I've encountered an unexpected behavior when using @AndroidFindBy annotation in conjunction with PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(eventDriver, Duration.ofSeconds(30)), this);.

Environment

• Java client build version or git revision if you use some snapshot: 9.0.0.
• Appium server version or git revision if you use some snapshot: 2.1.3
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium if necessary: Windows 10
• Node.js version : v18.18.0
• Mobile platform/version under test: Android 13
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Real Device

Details

When using the annotation @AndroidFindBy(accessibility = "open menu") for an element, I'm encountering an error stating:

Unsupported CSS selector '*[name='webElementOpenMenu']'. Reason: ''name' is not a valid attribute. Supported attributes are 'checkable, checked, clickable, enabled, focusable, focused, long-clickable, scrollable, selected, index, instance, description, resource-id, text, class-name, package-name''

However, using the direct method appiumDriver.findElementByAccessibilityId("open menu").click(); works without any issues.

It appears that the accessibility attribute from the annotation is being incorrectly translated into a CSS selector with the name attribute when using AppiumFieldDecorator with EventFiringWebDriver.

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

 @AndroidFindBy(accessibility = "open menu")
    private WebElement webElementOpenMenu;

    @Test()
    public void demaoTest() {
        AppiumDriverLocalService appiumDriverLocalService = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder()
                .withIPAddress("127.0.0.1")
                .usingPort(4723)
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.RELAXED_SECURITY)
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.SESSION_OVERRIDE)
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.USE_DRIVERS, "uiautomator2")
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.BASEPATH, "/wd/hub/")
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.LOG_LEVEL, "info:debug")
                .withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(180)));
        appiumDriverLocalService.start();

        UiAutomator2Options uiAutomator2Options = new UiAutomator2Options()
                .setAutomationName(AutomationName.ANDROID_UIAUTOMATOR2)
                .setApp(System.getProperty("user.dir" + File.separator + "app" + File.separator + "android" + File.separator + "Android-MyDemoAppRN.1.3.0.build-244.apk"))
                .setFullReset(false)
                .setNoReset(true)
                .setPlatformName("android")
                .setPlatformVersion("13")
                .setUdid("ZD222CJSXB")
                .setAppPackage("com.saucelabs.mydemoapp.rn")
                .setAppActivity("com.saucelabs.mydemoapp.rn.MainActivity");

        AppiumDriver appiumDriver = new AndroidDriver(appiumDriverLocalService.getUrl(), uiAutomator2Options);

        EventFiringWebDriver eventDriver = new EventFiringWebDriver(appiumDriver);
        CustomEventListener listener = new CustomEventListener();
        eventDriver.register(listener);

        //WebElement webElementOpenMenu_1 = eventDriver.findElement(AppiumBy.accessibilityId("open menu")); --- This is working

        PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(eventDriver, Duration.ofSeconds(30)), this);

        webElementOpenMenu.click();

//        webElementOpenMenu_1.click(); --- This is working
        
        appiumDriver.quit();
        appiumDriverLocalService.stop();
    }

AFAIK EventFiringWebDriver is deprecated. Consider using EventFiringDecorator instead or the createProxy API
