Description

Description

The WindowsFindBy annotation defined as an interface in src/main/java/io/appium/java_client/pagefactory/WindowsFindBy.java does not contain a 'name' method .

This prevents using the WindowsFindBy annotation to identify Windows elements by their 'name' attribute in WinAppDriver.

WinAppDriver supports FindElementByName.

Environment

  • java-client: V5.0.0-BETA8

Research direction
