Description
Description
Implement search for an inner element by an image.
Environment
- java-client: 8.3.0
- Appium server version: 2.0.0-beta.65
- Plugin: images@2.0.10
- Ubuntu 20.04
- Android
- Emulator
Details
Currently, searching for an element by image works for a driver object.
Searching for an element using the root element object results in the error.
org.openqa.selenium.InvalidSelectorException: Locator Strategy '-image' is not supported for this session
Code To Reproduce Issue
public class MobileIcon extends Widget {
protected MobileIcon(WebElement element) {
super(element);
}
public Rectangle getRect() {
return findElement(AppiumBy.image(imageRefB64)).getRect();
}
}

Research direction
No source file or test is named in the issue. Start with AppiumBy.image(imageRefB64) and the WebElement.findElement call in MobileIcon.getRect(), comparing driver-level image lookup with root-element lookup. Done means an inner-element image search works without InvalidSelectorException.
