How to interact with alertdialog in Espresso?

Question

I have a test in which I have a Alertdialog on which there is an "input" field and buttons "Cancel"(id is button2) and "Ok"(id is button1). First I have to enter the value "1234" in the field, and then click on the "Ok" button. But it doesn’t work for me, the test fails.

    onView(withId(R.id.input)).perform(typeText("1234"));
    closeSoftKeyboard();
    click(R.id.button1);
    Thread.sleep(5000);

You should use the the isDialog() RootMatcher:

onView(allOf(
       isDescendantOfA(withId(R.id.input)),
       isAssignableFrom(EditText.class)))
    .inRoot(isDialog())
    .perform(typeText("1234"))
    .perform(closeSoftKeyboard());
onView(withText("Ok"))
    .inRoot(isDialog())
    .check(matches(isDisplayed()))
    .perform(click());
Thread.sleep(5000);

Try using `withText` on the Ok button. See the updated answer – jeprubio Mar 02 '20 at 14:03
In the past, gives such an error "Cannot resolve method 'click()'" – Иван Короткий Mar 02 '20 at 14:31
Could it be that the `closeSoftKeyboard();` hides the dialog? Try without it or move it as an action of the input – jeprubio Mar 02 '20 at 14:48
Error performing 'type text(1234)' on view 'with id: by.belinvestbank.test:id/input'. – Иван Короткий Mar 02 '20 at 14:59
Are you using TextInputLayout? Try checking for a descendant of type `EditText`. See the updated answer – jeprubio Mar 02 '20 at 15:02
Yes, it worked, thank you very much) Only when you click on the "Ok" button it gives an error "Cannot resolve method 'click()'". Therefore, instead of clicking on this button from your example, I used Barista -BaristaDialogActions.clickDialogPositiveButton(); – Иван Короткий Mar 03 '20 at 07:27
