Releases: microsoft/WinAppDriver
WinAppDriver v1.3 Release Candidate 1 (1.2.99)
This is the first release candidate in the 1.3 release cycle.
- This is the first build with support for all three commonly-used Windows architectures: x86, x64 and ARM64
- WinAppDriver has moved from .NET Framework to .NET 5, and from C++/CX to C++.
Due to the architectural changes in this release, it will require significant testing.
Our test suite has generally worked, but it is unlikely that we've covered the vast web of possibilities.
The .NET Core Runtime (version 5.0.7) is included in the installation bundle, as is the C++ redistributable.
WinAppDriver v1.2.1
This is the first stable release in the v1.2 release cycle. It includes:
- Improved compatibility with WebDriverIO
- The ms:experimental-webdriver capability enables experimental features and optimizations - for this release, enabling this capability will provide performance improvements with XPath and improve overall element handling.
C#:appCapabilities.SetCapability("ms:experimental-webdriver", true); - The ms:waitForAppLaunch capability enables WinAppDriver to wait for a defined amount of time after an app launch is initiated prior to attaching to the application session. The limit for this is 50 seconds.
C#:appCapabilities.SetCapability("ms:waitForAppLaunch", "25");to add app delay of 25 seconds.
In addition, there have been minimal changes from the v1.2 release candidate:
- We've added retry logic to handle legacy applications that take a while to start up or display a splash screen.
- We have improved support for packaged WinUI 3 Desktop applications. Please note: WinUI 3 is in preview.
As with the previous WinAppDriver v1.1 release, it is recommended that you use the WinAppDriver NuGet package to take full advantage of the advanced input with the Actions API.
