How to clear screen in `Xamarin.UITest.IApp.Repl()` terminal on Windows 10?
The Xamarin.UITest.IApp.Repl()
method, used for interactive REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) testing in Xamarin.UITest, does not provide a built-in mechanism to clear the screen in the terminal. However, you can use a workaround to simulate clearing the screen. Here's an example:
csharpusing System;
namespace YourNamespace
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Your Xamarin.UITest code
// Enter the REPL mode
app.Repl();
// Clear the screen by printing empty lines
Console.Clear();
Console.SetCursorPosition(0, 0);
}
}
}
In this example, after entering the REPL mode with app.Repl()
, the Console.Clear()
method is used to clear the console screen, and Console.SetCursorPosition(0, 0)
is used to set the cursor position back to the top-left corner of the console.
When running the code, after exiting the REPL mode, the console screen will appear cleared as the cursor is set to the top-left corner.
Note that this workaround uses standard .NET console methods and assumes you are running the code in a console application or a similar environment that supports console-related operations.
