I’m trying to test a hybrid app that is essentially one giant webview. For the iOS version of the app, I have not had any problems. I switch to the webview and everything works as expected. Android is a different matter. I can launch the app, get the context list, switch to the correct one with driver.context(webview_context_name) but as soon as I try to locate the first object on the page, I’m getting “org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: Invalid locator strategy: css selector”
I’m using Appium 1.3.1 via the Appium app on OS X Yosemite. My Android emulator is set to 4.4. Here’s the relevant lines from the Appium log. Any insight would be appreciated.
