I’m experiencing issues with text fields and creating a new line by either \n, or sending an action to press the enter key. When the enter key is pressed it’s creating a symbol (e.g. []) instead of returning to the next line.

Ruby:
win.find_element(:name, "textField").send_keys "ENTER TEXT AND GOTO NEW LINE\n"
or
win.find_element(:name, "textField").send_keys [:return]

Hi,

Background: Running application.
Foreground: Snapshot (via Selenium).

Script:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("app", "Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App");

        rwd = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://XXX.30.201.YYY:4723"), capabilities);
        WebDriver augmentedDriver = new Augmenter().augment(rwd);
        File screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot)augmentedDriver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

        //Close the browser
        Path destPath = Paths.get("C:\\Root\\selenium\\reports\\").resolve("Windows.Photos.png");
        com.google.common.io.Files.copy(screenshot, destPath.toFile());

In addition, although selenium script has already brought snapshot, WinAppDriver continues to print a lot of data on console and that takes about 2.5 minutes. Eventually, it finishes the command.

Thanks in advance,
Denys

Hey, I'm using Appium with WinAppDriver with Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition to Test a UWP application.

I was doing some screenshots for documentation with

var img = mySession.GetScreenshot();
img.SaveAsFile("D:\\myfile.jpg", ImageFormat.Png);

and after opening the file, there was some parts of the background (maybe 3-10 pixels) over the App border in the image. I don't know, whether this is related to Appium or WinAppDriver, but is there a way to fix this?
A workaround might be to crop the image myself with an Image Tool, like IrfanView, but I would like to avoid that.

import unittest
from appium import webdriver

desired_caps = {
'platformName': 'WindowsModern',
'app': 'Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App',
}
print desired_caps
driver = webdriver.Remote('http://127.0.0.1:4723', desired_caps)
print driver
print driver.find_element_by_name('One')

Tried the WinAppDriver with python and getting the below error from appium driver

in
driver = webdriver.Remote('http://127.0.0.1:4723', desired_caps)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\appium\webdriver\webdriver.py", line 36, in init
super(WebDriver, self).init(command_executor, desired_capabilities, browser_profile, proxy, keep_alive)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 91, in init
self.start_session(desired_capabilities, browser_profile)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 181, in start_session
self.w3c = "specificationLevel" in self.capabilities
TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable

In webdriver.py
In the line
self.capabilities = response['value']
response['value'] seems to be null.

Did I miss anything in the python script ?

Hi guys, could you suggest on how to get a checkbox state of AppiumWebElement for UWP application?

Bogdan

Example (pseudo-javascript):

// initialize driver
driver.setValue('//Edit', '[email protected]');
// test continues

The server receives a request like so:

It would be great if it would point to installer of the latest version of the driver, or point to the latest release on github https://github.com/Microsoft/WinAppDriver/releases/latest

Hi,

I run WinAppDriver on Surface with Windows 10 as **Administrator.
The below selenium script fails on creating RemoteWebDriver with error message:

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: A new session could not be created. (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

Selenium Java Script

    RemoteWebDriver rwd = null;
    try {
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability("app", "Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App");
        rwd = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://YYY.30.201.ZZZ:80"), capabilities);
        rwd.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        rwd.findElementByName("Clear").click();
        rwd.findElementByName("Seven").click();
        WebElement result = rwd.findElementByName("Display is  7 ");
    }catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if(rwd != null){
            rwd.quit();
        }
   }

On server side, WinAppDriver launches Calculator application successfully.

There is a message on console '{"status":33,"value":{"message":"A new session could not be created."}}'

If I close the Calculator application and run the Selenium script again, then the scenario will fail again.
If I don't close the Calculator application and run the Selenium script again, then the scenario will success and WinAppDriver will close the Calculator by itself and all next runs will success too.
If I run a new scenario for different application ("Microsoft.WindowsAlarms_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App"), the above scenario will be repeated.

How to get the selenium script runs successfully on the first time?
:)

Thanks in advance,
Denys

I am developing an app and am trying to incorporate automated ui testing using this awesome(!) driver. In the app is a list of other devices related to the user's account in the app which is dynamically generated from a list pulled from our server, using a web call and displayed using an ItemsControl/DataTemplate. Part of the list is a button that has a dynamic name (based on id of device in our server) that will perform an action on the corresponding device.
I am using the iOS appium library to send these commands, and clicking other (static) buttons work, but for some reason, trying to click this particular button does not work. The windows app driver acts as though it works, but the code behind the button does not execute. Of course the button works if I click it, so I'm thinking it has something to do with being dynamically generated.
The Windows App Driver does successfully find the button, and it does successfully describe to me some of its attributes, but for some reason sending the click command does nothing.

It finds the button:

Definitely the correct button:

Clicking/Tapping do nothing, although report as successful:

Again, it works if a human clicks it, but not if it goes through the windows app driver. And I have checked that the size isn't 0 and that it is enabled/displayed etc, all of which the win app driver correctly reports. It is just the click/tap action that seems not to work.

I want to change default server port without providing IP Address.
It is impossible to do.

Expected: WinAppDriver -port 80.
Actual: WinAppDriver 172.52.22.161 80

The issue is IP is not static and after restart may be changed, today in order to change port I should write a script that extract IP address.

I've created a class based on Java Selenium binding:
DesiredCapabilities appCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
appCapabilities.setCapability("app", "Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App");
appCapabilities.setPlatform(Platform..WINDOWS);
RemoteWebDriver CalculatorSession = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), appCapabilities);

During calling startSession(...) execute(...) method returns response with 'sessionID' but 'value' property is null.

Thanks for assistance.

I have tried clicking, sending the enter key, space key and down arrow key to combo box through the driver and nothing seems to have any effect on it. Am I missing something?

protected const string WindowsApplicationDriverUrl = "http://127.0.0.1:4723";
protected static IOSDriver<IOSElement> HandheldSession;

// Launch the  App
DesiredCapabilities appCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
appCapabilities.SetCapability("app", "89aadf91-0d88-4eaf-8b5c-a81603002896_4s90vd6skb15c!App");`           
HandheldSession = new IOSDriver<IOSElement>(new Uri(WindowsApplicationDriverUrl), appCapabilities);
Assert.IsNotNull(HandheldSession);
HandheldSession.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitlyWait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2));


var comboBox = HandheldSession.FindElementByName("Items");

// assert the report combo box is displayed
Assert.IsTrue(comboBox.Displayed);

// build list of expected report names
List<string> expectedReportList = new List<string>();
foreach (var reportName in table.Rows)
{
        expectedReportList.Add(reportName["Name"]);
}

// open combo box to check expected for expected items
//comboBox.Click();
comboBox.SendKeys(Keys.Enter);

I am trying to automate a WPF application using this awesome tool. Latest release 0.4, downloaded from GitHub.

During create session - server just do not respond/or take forever to respond (>20 minutes). Application indicated as the capability "app" launched fine.

Console looks like below:

Any ideas which can help here?

The release notes for 0.4-beta include "SendKeys functionality enabled for special characters". I have tried simulating the enter key using hello\n but this does not appear to work. Is this a bug or is there a different syntax for enter? What other characters are supported?

I have configured WinAppDriver to listen on external IP (static), sometimes after restart it fails to up with following error. The WinAppDriver is configured to start on log on.

Thanks in advance

Good day!
Could you add support for searching elements by UI Automation ID?

Suddenly, WinAppDrive could not run Application.
On WinAppDriver console, there is message 'HTTP 404 error'

Need your help.

Thanks in advance

As per the documentation:
"Default listening address is 127.0.0.1:4723. You can configure WinAppDriver.exe to listen to a different IP address and port if you run it as administrator."

I tried to run in Admin Mode, but still The default listening IP and Port is showing as 127.0.0.1:4723
I am unable to connect it Remotely.

Hi,

I have installed WinAppDriver on a brand-new Surface.

If I run the driver with localhost and run a remote selenium client then /session fails on 404 error.
If I run the driver with ip address and run a remote selenium client then /session succeed.

Looks like driver checks IP Address from client request to what was passed to driver from command line. It is very strange behavior.

Unable to start a new session using the selenium ruby bindings. It appears the selenium server is expecting capabilities returned back from the WinAppDriver server. Though, I’m surprised other bindings are not encountering this issue too. I've tried various combinations of the capabilities but to no avail. See below for more details.

• To work around this issue, I rescue the .dup call with an empty hash.

So I wanted to see what the differences where with the Appium server. Looks like the Appium server returns the below capabilities back to the selenium server (in bold below) on , which I believe the WinAppDriver server is not doing, so it fails on this method.

Hi!
I have problem with run application(example: camera)
.
Can you help with this problem?
I'm trying to use any account: admin, not admin, login as email. I'm always have this error.

Can this driver be used to test UWP apps on Windows 10 Mobile devices or emulators?

There seems to be a few issues that reference mobile devices, like #32 and #33. But readme does not mention that the driver can be used with phones.

First of all, Great work! 💯

My Calc is set in "Programmer" mode, when I run the test, it fails like this

Test Name:  Combination
Test FullName:  CalculatorTest.BasicScenarios.Combination
Test Source:    C:\git\WinAppDriver\Samples\CalculatorTest\BasicScenarios.cs : line 76
Test Outcome:   Failed
Test Duration:  0:00:01.1552979

Result StackTrace:  at CalculatorTest.BasicScenarios.Combination() in C:\git\WinAppDriver\Samples\CalculatorTest\BasicScenarios.cs:line 85
Result Message: Assert.AreEqual failed. Expected:<Display is  8 >. Actual:<Display is  63 >.

If it's on default mode, then all pass ok.

Hi

What's your plans for UIA on Window10? Is WebDriver a replacement for UIA? Or Will you be continued to be fully supported in parallel?

Currently the automation test solution we used is based on UIA, So the changes maybe become a big impact on current solution.

Thanks
Ethan

Hello

I am looking at the video https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2016/P499 and I am planning to try the WinappDriver.

but as it said, next step will support Mobile. but the WinAppDriver can be used to test UWP app which can be run in WinPhone.

So I am confused about this. So the question is Does this WinAppDriver Support WinPhone now?

Thanks
Ethan

var alarmEntries = AlarmClockSession.FindElementsByName("Windows Application Driver Test Alarm");
Assert.IsTrue(alarmEntries.Count > 0);

The above assert fails. Any guesses as to why? known issue that will be resolved?

I was able to fix the sample with this below code...but the above code should work IMO b/c I see a button within the list item that has that exact name. I'm now curious if there is limitations on what elements we can find/search?

var alarmEntries = AlarmClockSession.FindElementsByXPath("//ListItem[starts-with(@name, "Windows Application Driver")]");
Assert.IsTrue(alarmEntries.Count > 0);

Hello

The document says that WinAppDriver supports Classic Windows App Testing. But I are not quite sure that how to understand the Classic windows apps.

So I still want to confirm here, Does WinAppDriver officially support Win32 Desktop App?

I have tried few samples and I'm getting internal error all the time. Attached the image for your review.(This image is taken when I try to open notepad and type "something" on it

I am just starting to evaluate this project, and havn't yet gotten anything to work (this is my first thing I tried).

Feels like somethings wrong with the sample? Or the sample requires a newer driver than what is available?

"Unexpected error. Unimplemented Command: xpath locator strategy is not supported"

Can I test the already running application or this feature is not yet implemented?

Anyone know if there is a service that supports this with VSO? Basically CI with VSO and WinAppDriver

Hi - I have seen people using FindElementByName or FindElementByAccessibilityId in the code samples,but when we inpect from Windows 10 SDK inspector,how can we assure that we are the right elements' attributes with right methods?Is there any documenation where i can find these mappings from different element finding techniques to the attributes in the inspector console just like in uiautomatorviewer?.Thank You

Hello. There is an another implimentation: https://github.com/2gis/Winium
What`s the difference?

Could you add support for searching elements by XPath (combine ClassName, Name and UI Automation ID)?

FYI for other folks hitting the issue when attempting to "plug and play" Appium code from another platform. I was hitting a 404 when making my first session call.

POST /wd/hub/session HTTP/1.1 ..... HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

Took me a couple minutes of debugging to realize my boilerplate server config needed to be tweaked to integrate with this. For Windows automation I have to override my server path to "/" rather than the default of "/wd/hub". It's not a big deal, but kind of annoying.

I would like to run WinAppDriver as a background process and get log files.
Is it possible to run WinAppDriver as a background process with administrator privileges?
Is it possible to configure log file location and log level?

Thanks in advance

Hi Team,
When I trying to install the WinAppDriver.exe, I am getting the below error. Could you please let me know what prerequisites do we need before installaing the WinAppDriver.exe

My System details:

The program can't start because api-ms-win-shcore-scaling-l1-1-1.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

OK

I configured Test Agent and Test Controllers for my test project in Visual Studio.
I install WinAppDriver on machine with test agent.
I try run this simple code:

I am able to launch native windows application successfully by using the below code. But not able to launch Cordova Hybrid Windows App with same code.

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("app", "com.XXXXXXXX.runtime_h365459jr9hy9m!App");
capabilities.setCapability("platform", "Windows");
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://XXXXXXXX.com:4723"), capabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

I can see sometimes the application flashes and exited (in milliseconds) suddenly with the following error:-

Content-Length: 101
Content-Type: application/json

{"status":33,"value":{"error":"session not created","message":"A new session could not be created."}}

It would be nice to be able to get and set device orientation.

Hi,

I'm wondering, how to take a Screenshot, when using Appium with WinAppDriver. I want to take screenshots from specific pages of my UWP application on Desktop and later on my mobile device or emulator and don't know, how to achieve this.

try with something like notepad:

session.FindElementByClassName("Edit").SendKeys(Keys.Up);
session.FindElementByClassName("Edit").SendKeys(Keys.ArrowUp);
session.FindElementByClassName("Edit").SendKeys(Keys.PageUp);

You will get 3 symbols.

Hi,

WinAppDriver makes snapshot of whole desktop.
I expect to get snapshot of application under testing only, like what selenium makes.

Thanks in advance,
Denys

if i want to test Windows Alarms & Clock app, how can I get it's application id?.

In the example, it directly show the application id is 'Microsoft.WindowsAlarms_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App“. but how do I get it by myself?

The note said :
When testing the application you authored yourself, you can find the Application Id in the generetated AppX\vs.appxrecipe file under RegisteredUserNmodeAppID node. E.g. c24c8163-548e-4b84-a466-530178fc0580_scyf5npe3hv32!App

My understanding is if I develop an app by myself, so I can control the authority and get application id in this way. but for the other apps just like "Windows Alarms & Clock app", I don't own it, how can I get application id?

Thanks
Ethan

Mobile & Desktop as well

Getting screenshots over wifi can significantly impact test performance for apps that require a network connection, so USB support would be great!

Hi Folks,

can anybody explain me how to configure another IP-address when starting the winappdriver.exe as Administrator?

Thanks a lot
