What is appium-xcuitest-driver component version?

[MummanaSubramanya]

how come appium-xcuitest-driver comes into picture its and android device and automation name
is UIautomator2

[mykola-mokhnach]

If this is uiautomator2 driver then you could try to replace the call to getRect with getLocation/getSize , since chromedriver itself does not support the /rect endpoint.

[MummanaSubramanya]

Im using c# 'MobileDriver.FindElement(LocateElement(type, object)).Size' is the command im using. Im not using the rect command . If the command was an issue it should fail in both linux and windows.

[mykola-mokhnach]

It probably calls getRect internally

[MummanaSubramanya]

so its an implementation issue?

[mykola-mokhnach]

I think it might be handled on both sides. For iOS the driver has been patched to "split" /rect call in web context into /location + /size. I'm not quite sure if the same trick could be done for Android. Although patching this on driver level will allow to void possible issues with all clients and not only the .NET one.

@imurchie Perhaps you have more ideas on a possible fix?

[MummanaSubramanya]

Im still not able to understand the code works fine with Windows Appium server 1.9.1 and it fails with Linux Appium server 1.9.1 -- I believe the server code is same for all platforms

[laolubenson]

@mykola-mokhnach I think it calls getRect internally, I saw this a while back. It got replaced as part of the W3C changes. Will calling /location/size work in a web context?

[mykola-mokhnach]

It will, but patching that would only fix the problem for .net client. Let see if we can patch it on driver level first

[MummanaSubramanya]

@akinsolb : sorry but can i expect this fix at early?

[mykola-mokhnach]

I have published the patch for uia2 in appium@beta
