Input keyword with delay in Android app is not working as expected

[CAutomationGuy]

Below is the code snipet :

• delay(3000)
  • input("//*[@Class='android.widget.EditText']", 'Automation: Executive Briefing', 200)
  • delay(3000)
  • input(""//*[@Class='android.widget.EditText']", ['A', 'u', 't', Key.ENTER], 200)
  • delay(3000)

Issue is:
Expected: The expected outcome is to print " Automation: 'delay 200' Executive 'delay 200' Briefing
Actual: But it is writing input is way like 'A' clear's the text from input box , the again enters 'u', then again clear 'u' and then enter 't'

@CAutomationGuy I will leave this open as help wanted for some time. to be honest not many teams use the appium support, and those that do have simple use-cases. we have been requesting for people to come forward and contribute code, but that has not happened. if you can contribute to karate, great - else you may need to evaluate other options.

cc @babusekaran if he has any comments

Hi @ptrthomas , @babusekaran ,

What can be done to have a work around for this issue in Android/IOS

this question seems to have been posted on stack overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/q/76032193/143475

closing this issue and moving to roadmap: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate/projects/3#card-88885393

I'm also updating documentation to make clear that mobile support is EXPERIMENTAL
