👀 Want to see a preview of what's coming up in #JetpackCompose? We heard you that debugging shared elements is tricky. In 1.11.0-alpha03, a new composable LookaheadAnimationVisualDebugging was added. Wrap your SharedTransitionLayout to add visual cues to track down those hard to debug issues. 🐛⤵️

#JetpackCompose executes your code in different phases, which causes some parts of the @Composable function to be executed separately from each other. Crashes in these phases can result in stack traces that are hard to decipher, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact line of code that crashed 💥

a more practical, smaller proposal is: have you tried setting the testTag first, and then clearing? This should keep the test tag and clear the rest of the semantics modifier = Modifier .testTag("testtag") .clearAndSetSemantics { }

100

Simona Milanovic @anomiss.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

I see! a bigger question: what is your backend testing setup like, for this and everything else? if you have dynamic a11y labels in diff locales, I'd then expect you'd want to test these individually? :) meaning you'd have a way of providing test data, like a11y labels, that you can access in tests

100

Simona Milanovic @anomiss.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

If you already have semantic info in a composable, you can most likely just use that for assertion in a test as well. Test tags are often used unnecessarily just cause it's convenient :), chances are you can avoid it for a lot of cases

100

Simona Milanovic @anomiss.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Test tags are meant to be used for testing only, whereas semantics can be used for both accessibility AND testing, whenever possible. Can you explain why and how you'd ever use a test tag for accessibility purposes?

It is possible for developers to implement their particular use cases, while we work on a plan for future components that can cover these functionalities better.

Simona Milanovic @anomiss.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

As part of this effort, we have also identified APIs added in recent releases that are not what we believe we should commit to long term. This has led to the decision to deprecate the experimental ContextualFlowRow and ContextualFlowColumn, added in 1.7.
