Unable to locate the element inside the webview Appium

#1

I’m currently working on automating a hybrid app using Appium WebDriverIO. My script successfully switches to the webview context without any issues. However, I’m facing a problem when trying to locate an element inside the webview using XPath: //input[@data-testing-id='name-input'] .

I’ve verified that the XPath is correct by inspecting the webview using chrome://inspect/#devices , where the element is present.

Appium Logs Link

Appium Version : 1.20.2
Chrome(Webview) Version : 116.0.5845.164
Chromedriver Version : 116.0.5845.96

Verified Context Switching: I’ve made sure to correctly switch to the webview context.

Specified ChromeDriver Path: Appium was unable to get ChromeDriver version 116 automatically. To address this, I specified the ChromeDriver executable path inside the capabilities using the chromedriverExecutable capability

Tried Upgrading appium-chromedriver: In an attempt to resolve the issue, I upgraded the appium-chromedriver package to its latest version. However, the problem persisted.

Any further guidance or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
