Xcode – XCTest get parent / sibling of specific element in swift

I would like to get parent (0x7fdc65735bd0) or better directly sibling (0x7fdc657082a0), of .staticText (0x7fdc65708190) which has no identifier, just unique label.

                ScrollView, 0x7fdc65740830, {{0.0, 94.0}, {375.0, 620.0}}
                  Other, 0x7fdc657402a0, {{0.0, 94.0}, {375.0, 689.7}}
                    Other, 0x7fdc657403b0, {{0.0, 94.0}, {375.0, 50.0}}
                      Other, 0x7fdc65740ba0, {{16.0, 110.0}, {335.0, 26.0}}
                        Other, 0x7fdc65740cb0, {{16.0, 110.0}, {335.0, 26.0}}
                          StaticText, 0x7fdc65727630, {{16.0, 110.0}, {315.0, 26.0}}, label: 'Self pickup'
                          Image, 0x7fdc65727740, {{331.0, 110.0}, {20.0, 26.0}}, identifier: 'checkbox_unchecked'
                    Other, 0x7fdc6572b860, {{0.0, 144.0}, {375.0, 1.0}}
                    Other, 0x7fdc6572b970, {{0.0, 145.0}, {375.0, 66.3}}
                      Other, 0x7fdc65735ac0, {{16.0, 161.0}, {335.0, 42.3}}
                        Other, 0x7fdc65735bd0, {{16.0, 161.0}, {335.0, 20.0}}
                          StaticText, 0x7fdc65708190, {{16.0, 161.0}, {315.0, 20.0}}, label: 'Shipping'
                          Image, 0x7fdc657082a0, {{331.0, 161.0}, {20.0, 20.0}}, identifier: 'checkbox_checked'

following code works quite good for Self pickup:
app.otherElements.containing(NSPredicate(format: "label LIKE[c] 'Self pickup'")).images.firstMatch

but if I’ll decide to get image of Shipping and replace NSPredicate condition:
app.otherElements.containing(NSPredicate(format: "label LIKE[c] 'Shipping'")).images.firstMatch

it is still giving me the Self pickup image

Do you have any idea how to bound that to children? I tried this but can’t find anything:
app.otherElements.children(matching: .image).containing(NSPredicate(format: "label LIKE[c] 'Shipping'")).images.firstMatch

The reason why I need to get the sibling (.image) is to determine if the image (truly checkbox) is checked or not.

EDIT:

I would need something like this:
app.otherElements.containing(NSPredicate(format: "label LIKE[c] 'Shipping'")).siblingMatching(elementType: .image)

…not sure if something like this exists, but it would fits the best to my purpose.

    Let’s build this step by step. We’re looking for an otherElement parent. Let’s get all of them..

    app.otherElements

    We want one containing a staticText with an identifier (I’m rusty – I think XCUITest will identify a label as an ID as long as there isn’t an explicit ID, but your predicate will work just as well!) of Shipping…

    app.otherElements.containing(.staticText, identifier: "Shipping")

    This gives us a query returning all of the parent otherElements of this element. If we want to access a specific one we’re going to need them in an array…

    app.otherElements.containing(.staticText, identifier: "Shipping").allElementsBoundByIndex

    Yay! Which one do we want? The one closest to our element, which will be the last one…

    app.otherElements.containing(.staticText, identifier: "Shipping").allElementsBoundByIndex.last

    And then we want the image inside there? Assuming there is only one…

    app.otherElements.containing(.staticText, identifier: "Shipping").allElementsBoundByIndex.last.images

    If more than one, you already know how to use firstMatch or again build out the array with allElementsBoundByIndex and reference the correct index.

    There is no "siblingMatching" item. However, you can still get the sibling.

    Seems like the key anchor in your code is staticTexts. However , there should also be an accessibility id for it that you could used instead. For example:

    Instead of app.otherElements.containing(NSPredicate(format: "label LIKE[c] 'Shipping'"))

    You could have something like this app.otherElements.matching(identifier: AX_ID_EXAMPLE).

    Then you could do something like this:

    let elementQuery = app.otherElements.matching(identifier: AX_ID_EXAMPLE)

func getIndexForShippingElement() -> Int {
  let countMatching = elementQuery.count
  for i in 0...countMatching {
    let targetElement = elementQuery.element(boundBy: i)
    if targetElement.staticText["Shipping"].exists
    return i
    }
  }
  XCTFail("couldn't find a match for Shipping element")
  return -1 // will never be called as we would have already failed
}

    Then you could call it like this:

    let shippingIndex = getIndexForShippingElement()

    let myTargetImage = elementQuery.element(boundBy: shippingIndex).images

    As you can see both staticText["Shipping"] and the image are children of the mutual parent elementQuery.

    However, I strongly recommend that you attribute an Accessibility id to the image here else it could easily break if a new image is introduced.
