How does it works?

Setting up Calabash with React Native

Installing Calabash-ios

Tutorial & documentation on the GitHub:

I added Calabash to a React Native app:

https://github.com/bamlab/rn-calabash-demo

DEMO TIME

Predefined steps

I wait for "..." to appear
I touch "..."
I should see "..."
I should see text starting with "prefix"
I enter "..." into input field number 1
I pinch to zoom in
I swipe left
I take picture

Pain points

Something fails for obscure reasons

Relaunch the iOS simulator for each feature to test

Hard to launch on a CI server

Functional tests are taking ages to run

Steps are different for Android & iOS 

Thanks!
