How to test if the app is presenting a certain view controller? - swift

Question

I'm pretty new to XCode UI tests and I'm trying to run a test where I fill two text labels and then I press a button. After the button is pressed the app should make an URL call and be redirected to another view controller. I want to check if at the end of this operation the second view controller is displayed.
To test this, I have written the following test:
let app = XCUIApplication()
app.launch()
let ownerTextField = app.textFields["ownerTextField"]
ownerTextField.tap()
ownerTextField.typeText("UserA")
let repositoryTextField = app.textFields["repositoryTextField"]
repositoryTextField.tap()
repositoryTextField.typeText("AppB")
app.buttons["SearchButton"].tap()
XCTAssertTrue(app.isDisplayingResults)
Where isDisplayingResults is
extension XCUIApplication {
var isDisplayingResults: Bool {
return otherElements["resultView"].exists
}
}
I have set up the identifier of the View controller inside its swift file class:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.accessibilityIdentifier = "resultView"
...
Nonetheless to say, the test fails. How can I get a success?

It's so simple.
If after clicking the URL, Viewcontroller is presenting means your previous VC button doesn't exist on screen.
So Just check for previous VC button exists or not.
If app.buttons["SearchButton"].esists()
{ //write if code
} else {
// Write else code
}
