I updated my Appium 1.3.5 app on OSX, and now in Appium Inspector I am unable to select an element by clicking on it (in the preview window).

The outline for a selected element is also missing when using “Locator” function.

See screenshots below for clarification.

The guitar apps are maintained separately . Ping the team at https://github.com/appium/appium-dot-app

I updated my Appium from 1.3.5 app to 1.3.6 on MAC, and now in Appium Inspector I am unable to select an element by clicking on it (in the preview window).

The outline for a selected element is also missing when using “Locator” function.

See screenshots below for clarification.

Can we expect Appium 1.3.6 on Windows platform ?

Thanks

0x1mason · March 13, 2015, 1:26am

It’s already available on Windows via NPM. Are you asking about Appium-dot-exe? If so, you’ll need to enquire on their GitHub site.

Does this 1.3.6 update requires Xcode & all to latest Versions…?

Christian_Paulino · March 17, 2015, 9:41am

Any updates on this, or did I miss something. We are having the same issues.

avellayappan · March 18, 2015, 6:08am

I am having a similar issue. I can’t navigate through the elements in the app using appium inspector. And, preview isn’t working. Attached is the screenshot.

avellayappan · March 18, 2015, 6:18am

I have a similar issue - I am unable to select an element by click on it in the outline.

@Christian_Paulino @avellayappan We need better naming. I’m referring to the Appium server, which is run from the command line. You’re referring to Appium-dot-app, the OSX gui that wraps the server. Unfortunately I don’t know what the status of the OSX GUI project is. Best thing to do is to check here: https://github.com/appium/appium-dot-app

Thanks, and sorry about that. I am indeed talking about the ‘Appium-dot-app’.
