How can I test the text that SVProgressHud displays?

Question

I'm doing UI testing in Swift and the app I'm testing shows many update/progress messages using the pod SVProgressHud. I want to be able to verify whether the correct message is being displayed. How can I capture the SVProgress HUD and get its text?

Answer 1

SVProgressHud is accessibility-ready (at least the version 1.1.3 that I'm using), so it's as simple as:

let message = app.otherElements["Your update/progress message"]
