For a view with rotation perform(click()) doesn't work in espresso ui test

Issue

I write an espresso UI test for my application, and for some views (in this case ImageButton) perform(click()) doesn't work and also no error is displayed. this is the line that not worked:

   try {
        Thread.sleep(TIME_NORMAL_ELPASED);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
onView(allOf(withId(R.id.toolbar_navigation_btn)
            , isCompletelyDisplayed())).perform(click());

and this is my xml:

and a fragment shows the above XML.

what's wrong?

Solution

I think setRotation may have confused click() and coordinates calculation. If that's the case, you could either remove android:rotation then rotate the image physically, or try to create a custom click action:

public static ViewAction forceClick() {
    return new ViewAction() {
        @Override public Matcher<View> getConstraints() {
            return allOf(isClickable(), isEnabled());
        }

        @Override public String getDescription() {
            return "force click";
        }

        @Override public void perform(UiController uiController, View view) {
            view.performClick();
            uiController.loopMainThreadUntilIdle();
        }
    };
}

This action performs click on the view by invoking performClick() without finding its coordinates. But make sure the view has the click listener attached in the app:

onView(withId(R.id.toolbar_navigation_btn)).perform(forceClick());
