Verify object map without running code

Hello Everyone ,

Is there any functionality in Appium 1.6.4 or UIAutomator where i can verify object map without running the test case.

I created object map for an element how can I verify if that is correct without running it in a test case. In Appium 1.5 I could do it using appium inspector.

Do we have any such feature in Appium 1.6.4 GUI or uiautomator

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Sumit

No, the Locator functionality has not yet returned to the Appium 1.6 Desktop application. What I will do to verify my locators are correct now is to create a simple script that tries to locate an element using a variable. Then I'll put a breakpoint in the script and change the variable to different locators I want to test in the debugger at runtime.
