Tap command not getting recognized as command by Appium

Issues/Bugs
1

I am sending the following command

	WebElement el = obj_android.findElementByXPath("/html/body/ion-item[2]/a");
	obj_android.tap(2,el,500);

In appium.exe log window I can see the following:
ion-list/div/ion-item[2]/a"}

My assumption is that some how appium is not able to translate command. Question is that I have used appium.exe for installation. Can this be happening that I dont have the latest version of appium in my windows machine if so How can I fix the issue I dont know any thing about node.js etc for installation what is step by step way to install appium on windows machine.

It looks like you’re using the Chrome driver for embedded WebView testing or web app testing. The Chrome driver does not understand the tap command. You’ll have to use .click() instead.

Thank you for the reply. Yes it’s Web view and using Chrome driver. Click was not working it says object not click able at corrdinates. Developers have some java script function getting called on the beckend. I also tried to use java script executioner but may be it’s not public I am not able to call by function name. Any suggestions will be helpfu… Thanks
