Android won't unpress button

[hkaras19]

What happened?

I have a detox test suite that runs without errors on iOS; however, I am running into an issue when trying the same tests on the android emulator. The start of my test consists of filling out a login page with some credentials and hitting login. The test is successfully able to fill out the credentials and press the login button. However, the login button is not released. I am able to see the button turn grey (indicating it is pressed), but the onPress is never fired and the button does not visually change to an unpressed stte. I have tried a few different variations such as using a Button component, rather than a TouchableOpacity, using the .multiTap(1) method instead of .tap() with no luck. I have further attempted to simply press a button in an empty view but run into the same issue.

Action in question
await element(by.text('Login')).tap()

Although there are no device error logs, I do get the following error if I attempt to manually unpress the button after the test has finished.

01-17 22:09:07.036 8308 8308 E unknown:ReactNative: Received an ACTION_CANCEL touch event for which we have no corresponding ACTION_DOWN
01-17 22:09:07.038 8308 8308 E unknown:ReactNative: Got DOWN touch before receiving UP or CANCEL from last gesture

Note: I have also found that in order for my test builds to pick up on changes, I must run the following command before creating the build:

rm -rf android/app/src/main/res/drawable-* && react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res/

What was the expected behaviour?

The button should press and release to trigger my onPress method

Was it tested on latest Detox?

• I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

Did your test throw out a timeout?

• I have followed the instructions under Identifying which synchronization mechanism causes us to wait too much.

Help us reproduce this issue!

Simply press a button using the .tap() method on the android emulator
