Appium Inspector works fine when in native context, but after switching to webview context, Inspector doesn’t work.
After switching to webview context, clicking the Inspector button fails with the error: Requested a new session but one was in progress.
Environment: Appium 1.4.8, Android 4.4.4
Does Appium Inspector support webview context? If not, what other approach can I use to view the content of the webview?
