I’m currently a beginner using the Appium inspector to record my tests. In the inspector, I’m only seeing IDs for UI elements and not web view elements when there is a web view on screen. There’s a dropdown to switch contexts, but the only option is is no context. How do I include web view elements in my recording?
Here’s a screenshot of what I see:
Your help is much appreciated. Please forgive me if there’s some documentation I missed that would help me.
Hi,
Switching to webview is not supported in Appium . You will end noticing error as "Not implemented in this context, try switching into or out of a web view ".
