finding-nodes-by-tag-text-content

finding-nodes-by-tag-text-content is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from skydoves/android-testing-skills. It costs 185 tokens per session (3,241 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to finding elements in Jetpack Compose UI tests by their test tag, visible text, accessibility description, or position in the semantics tree. The semantics tree is Compose's test-facing description of the UI.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test buttons, labels, icons, switches, and other Compose elements, including cases where a collection of matching elements must be checked.
Why use it?
It helps resolve tests that find no elements or find too many, and explains why an element may be hidden in the merged tree. It also helps make tests less dependent on changing screen text.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

finding-nodes-by-tag-text-content scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Finding Nodes by Tag, Text, or Content Description — Tag From Production, Find by Tag From Tests

Every Compose UI test starts by locating a semantics node. This skill picks the right finder, reasons about the count contract, and decides when to flip useUnmergedTree. Use it whenever the developer is staring at a "Reason: Expected exactly '1' node but could not find any node that satisfies …" error.

When to use this skill

  • The developer reports "no node matched" / "multiple nodes matched" / "tag not found" / "ambiguous match" from SemanticsNodeInteraction.
  • The developer asks how to locate a Button, Text, Icon, IconButton, Switch, or any other composable inside a test.
  • The developer mentions onNodeWithTag, onNodeWithText, onNodeWithContentDescription, onAllNodesWith*, or onRoot.
  • A test passes locally but is brittle to copy edits or i18n rotation of the UI strings.
  • The developer asks about useUnmergedTree, the merged tree, or "why does my inner Text not exist".

When NOT to use this skill

  • The right node is found but assertions fail — see ../../assertions/asserting-node-state-and-text/SKILL.md (state) or ../../assertions/asserting-bounds-and-dimensions/SKILL.md (geometry).
  • The finder returns one node but custom predicates are needed — see ../composing-semantics-matchers/SKILL.md.
  • The right node exists but only as a child/sibling/descendant — see ../traversing-the-semantics-tree/SKILL.md.
  • The semantics tree itself needs inspection — see ../../debug/printing-the-semantics-tree/SKILL.md.

Prerequisites

  • androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-junit4 (or v2) wired up. See ../../setup/configuring-test-dependencies/SKILL.md if createComposeRule is unresolved.
  • A ComposeTestRule or ComposeUiTest is in scope. See ../../setup/choosing-test-rule-vs-runtest/SKILL.md.
  • The composable under test calls setContent { … } before the finder runs. Finders are lazy and re-evaluate on every operation.

Workflow

  • 1. Default to onNodeWithTag(SomeTag). Add a Modifier.testTag(SomeTag) in the production source under a const val SomeTag = "Some". Tests find by tag, not by text. Skydoves hot take #1: in androidx/material3 itself, onNodeWithTag outnumbers onNodeWithText roughly 4:1 (1825 vs 424) and onNodeWithContentDescription 40:1 (1825 vs 46). Text finders churn with copy edits and break on locale rotation.
