Im getting an error: WebDriver' object has no attribute 'set_settings

[yullyayu01]

I’m facing an issue where I can’t allow the ___location permission on the simulator. I tried using python. But Im getting error acceptAlertButtonSelector : 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'set_settings. I’m currently using: Appium 2.19.0 , iOS 18.4 Simulator , robotframework-appiumlibrary 2.1.0, Appium-Python-Client 3.2.1 and Python 3.9.6.

def accept_ios_location_alert():
    success = False

    try:
        appiumlib = BuiltIn().get_library_instance('AppiumLibrary')
        driver = appiumlib._current_application()
        print(f"{driver}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"❌ Failed: {e}")
        return False

    try:
        selector = "**/XCUIElementTypeButton['name == \"Allow While Using App\" OR name == \"Allow\"']"
        # driver.execute_script("mobile: setSettings", {
        # "settings": {
        #       "acceptAlertButtonSelector": selector
        #    }
        # })
        driver.set_settings({
            "acceptAlertButtonSelector": selector
        })
        print(f"✅ Setting 'acceptAlertButtonSelector' success di-set: {selector}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"❌ Filed set acceptAlertButtonSelector: {e}")
        return False

    time.sleep(3)

    try:
        alert = driver.switch_to.alert
        alert_text = alert.text
        print(f"⚠️ Alert is appears: {alert_text}")
    except:
        print("✅ Alert success dismiss.")
        success = True

    return success

I think possibly python Appium client just does not support it. Any suggestions or best practices would be appreciated. Thank you

I guess you want to use update_settings

@KazuCocoa thank you, I’ve already solved this issue by using driver.update_settings
