Web app in mac

[CarlosNano]

Hi all

I'm trying to test a web app built with ionic, which is using Chromium in the background.

This are the capabilities I've set up:

            caps.setCapability("platformName", "mac");
            caps.setCapability("platformVersion", "12.2.1");
            caps.setCapability("automationName", "mac2");
            caps.setCapability("bundleId", "com.company.id");

If I set up this capabilities in the appium inspector, the app will will be launched but I can't inspect anything, even if I change the context.

Can I use this driver for webapps? if so, Am I missing something?

Thanks

So for example in the appium inspector, if I select:

This area will be selected

There is nothing there, there is not a hidden view or anything

Do you get any error like me when you just run appium from terminal ?
#128

This driver does not support WebView context.
This driver works only when the app under test can work with XCTest framework by Apple. (Probably native apps?)

[CarlosNano]

Oh that makes sense why it's not working.

Not sure which driver I can use in this case then?

Thanks

If the webview provides any possibilities of debugging then it would be theoretically possible to use chromedriver to connect to it and automate using vanilla selenium. Otherwise 🤷

I guess the ionic project address the possibility of testing with existing framework if it could like how to run tests with chromedriver.

[CarlosNano]

I guess that means that Appium doesn't support this kind of Apps

Thanks both for the answers,
