Cannot use XPath in Appium
I am automating a UWP application (Windows 10) through Appium + Winapp driver.
I am using Appium inspector to spy the objects in the windows 10 app. There is no name available for the button and therefore trying to use the Xpath
/Window/Window[2]/Button[2]
I tried clicking the tap button in the Appium inspector and it is clicking on the button name.
If I use the XPath in my selenium code, like the below, it is not working:
driver.findElementByXPath("//Window[2]/Button[2]").click();
Can you please let me know why the script is not able to click the Button at the same time the Appium inspector can click it.
My environment is:
- Appium version - 1.9.1
- WinApp Version - 1.1
- Java client - 6.1
- OS - Windows 10
xpath uwp appium winapp

Hi Pankaj, Yeah I have given the sufficient wait time and captured the screenshot as well. The object is present in the system.
