Android Jetpack Compose UI testing: equivalent of espresso clearFocus()?

Question

It is common to test inline errors by filling out a textfield and then clearing focus, as the validation happens after the user is done with it. In espresso that can look like:

onView(allOf(isAssignableFrom(EditText::class.java), withId(fieldViewId)))
    .perform(safeScrollTo(), typeText(text), pressImeActionButton(), clearFocus())

And the equivalent of filling out the field in Compose can look like:

composeTestRule.onNodeWithTag(tag).assert(hasSetTextAction()).performTextInput(text)

How can I then clear the focus?

In Jetpack Compas UI Testing, there isn't direct equivalent to Espresso’s clearFocus() built-in out of the box in the testing APIs.

Use .perfromImeAction()

If you are validation happen after the IME action (Done,Next,etc.),you can trigger that in your test::

composeTestRule.onNodeWithTag(tag)
    .performTextInput(text)
    .performImeAction()

Try this!!!
