Hi all. I’m brand new to Appium and am trying to automate some tests against a Windows Desktop app. I’m pretty sure I have something wrong in the parameters I’m passing, or the capabilities I’m asking for, but have not been able to work out what bit is wrong. I think I have the latest Appium, the latest WinAppDriver, and am using C# with Appium.WebDriver 4.4.5 from nuget.
Below is the C# code I’m using, and the output from the Appium Server.
I’ve tried using the WinAppDriver.exe by itself, using one of the automated tests that comes with it for starting Notepad, and that worked, so I’m fairly certain that the WinAppDriver side of things is ok
Any thoughts or suggestions on what I might be doing wrong, or how to figure out what I’m doing wrong would be much appreciated.
var capabilities = new AppiumOptions();
capabilities.AddAdditionalCapability("platformName", "Windows");
capabilities.AddAdditionalCapability("appium:automationName", "Windows");
capabilities.AddAdditionalCapability("appium:app", @"C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe");
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("APPIUM_HOME", @"C:\Users\MPhillips\.appium\node_modules\appium-windows-driver");
var driver = new WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), capabilities);
Assert.IsNotNull(driver);
Assert.IsNotNull(driver.SessionId);
driver.Close();
