Incorrect enabled prop from getAttributes() in Detox for disabled elements

[erdemkiiliic]

What happened?

I am encountering an issue with getAttributes() where the enabled property of an element is being returned incorrectly. I have confirmed that this occurs on both Android and iOS. Using Appium Inspector and Layout Inspector, I verified that the element associated with this testID is disabled at that moment, but I cannot validate this with Detox. Could this be a bug, or am I possibly checking the enabled state for an incorrect view?

Appium inspector:

What was the expected behaviour?

In this example, my expectation is for the enabled property to return false.

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!

1. Create a view with a disabled element:
   • Add a UI component (e.g., a button or input field) that starts in a disabled state.
   • Assign a unique testID to this element.
2. Verify the element is disabled using a visual tool:
   • Use Appium Inspector or Layout Inspector to confirm the element is indeed disabled.
3. Write a Detox test:
   • Write a test using Detox’s getAttributes() method to check the enabled property of the element with the assigned testID.
4. Run the test:
   • Execute the test on both Android and iOS.
5. Compare results:
   • Observe the value returned by getAttributes() for the enabled property and compare it with the expected false.
