Hello,
all of a sudden, I cannot use driver.page_source on some of the pages of the app I am testing. It’s been working for several years, but now I get the UnicodeDecodeError, on some pages immediately, on same pages after I make some operations on them.
I really don’t understand what has changes, because I have not made any changes in packages/library lately. Do you have any ideas?
Thank for the help!
I am using Python 3.12, Appium-Python-Client 4.1.0.
The whole error here:
