React Native: press tab with Detox

Question

I'm writing automation test with Detox for my react native app. Main screen of my app has a TabNavigator component.

How can I reach some specific tab in Detox test? Can I set testID for tabs in TabNavigator?

Any help will be highly appreciated

Answer 1

in your navigationOptions add tabBarTestID: 'Tab element' property and call await element(by.id('Tab element')).tap();
