Describe the bug
I am trying to integrate Axe.Windows into Microsoft-ui-xaml testing pipeline and am running into some issues. It is returning this error:
Axe.Windows.Automation.AxeWindowsAutomationException: ERROR Automation017: Fail to get the root element of a process(11548): System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: element
at Axe.Windows.Actions.Contexts.ElementContext..ctor(A11yElement element)
at Axe.Windows.Automation.TargetElementLocator.LocateRootElement(Int32 processId) ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
You can find the PR here, and the pipeline results here.
The VerifyAxeScanPasses pass locally with MSTests / TestExplorer via VS Studio but not with TAEF. It's failing trying to find the root UIA element of the MUXTestApp window, but I'm unsure why.
