๐ Big news for Android devs using Jetpack Compose! Media3 just dropped version 1.6.0, and it includes a brand new artifact: media3-ui-compose! Finally, seamless and customizable video playback directly in your Compose apps. ๐ฌ #AndroidDev #JetpackCompose #Media3
27.03.2025 17:13 โ ๐ 50 ๐ 18 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 1a more practical, smaller proposal is: have you tried setting the testTag first, and then clearing? This should keep the test tag and clear the rest of the semantics
modifier = Modifier
.testTag("testtag")
.clearAndSetSemantics { }
I see! a bigger question: what is your backend testing setup like, for this and everything else? if you have dynamic a11y labels in diff locales, I'd then expect you'd want to test these individually? :) meaning you'd have a way of providing test data, like a11y labels, that you can access in tests
19.03.2025 17:07 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0If you already have semantic info in a composable, you can most likely just use that for assertion in a test as well. Test tags are often used unnecessarily just cause it's convenient :), chances are you can avoid it for a lot of cases
19.03.2025 13:07 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Test tags are meant to be used for testing only, whereas semantics can be used for both accessibility AND testing, whenever possible. Can you explain why and how you'd ever use a test tag for accessibility purposes?
