Arguments common for all commands

Some arguments are common to all commands.

Labels

Each Maestro command accepts an optional label attribute that lets you customize the command's name:

- tapOn:
    id: buy-now
    label: Tap on Buy Now button
    
- inputText:
    label: Input the company email
    text: [email protected]

- swipe:
    direction: LEFT
    label: Swipe for onboarding
✅ Tap on Buy Now button
✅ Input the company email
✅ Swipe for onboarding

Setting a label can have an additional advantage of being able to remove sensitive content from console output, for example this:

✅ Tap on "Password"
✅ Input text "mySecr3tPassw0rd!"

becomes:

✅ Tap on "Password"
✅ Enter the test user's password

{% hint style="warning" %} The values will still appear in the logs of the run. {% endhint %}

Labels are also a useful alternative to comments for contributors trying to understand the intent of a particular step.

- extendedWaitUntil:
    visible: Recommended Products
    timeout: 5000
    label: Wait for all personalized content to load

Optional

Each Maestro command accepts an optional optional attribute that lets control what should happen if the command fails.

- launchApp: com.example.example
- assertVisible:
    text: Summer sale is here!
    optional: true
- tapOn: Sign up now!

If optional is set to true, the flow will continue executing even if the command fails. The warning will be displayed:

✅ Launch app "com.example.example"
⚠️ Assert that "Summer sale is here!" is visible (warned)
✅ Tap on "Sign up now!"

The default value of optional for almost all commands is false, which means that the flow will stop executing if any command fails. The only exception (at least for now) are AI-powered commands, which have optional set to true by default.

{% hint style="info" %} Setting the optional attribute doesn't make sense on some commands, e.g. back or startRecording. Nevertheless, it's still possible to set it, but it won't have any effect. {% endhint %}
