Hi,

I’ve tried on fryday to download the latest version, but I didn’t received the email with download link. Any idea about this ?

Please check your Email Junk folder or contact your Email Server Admin they would have rejected our email.

I had to download it with the email of one of my collegue, I guess there is a problem on your side with already used email maybe ?
Anyway, I’m downloading the last version right now and keep you inform if problem persist.

Bad news, I have a lot of error of the type : “Failed to complete internal method”, wether doing a simple sendKeys in a field or an ExecuteScript. But it does not happened on every fields.

Please paste the section of the log which give you this error.

The logs are in %appiumstudio%\appiumstudio in Appium Studio-YY-dd-mm-min-seconds.log

Just installed 20.4.6801 and the issue is fixed now. Thank you Experitest team!

Here is the log of the error that I have on a scroll method :

Could be because Hybrid Application.

Suggest you to install the app in instrumented mode , use the xpath for the element too for this instrumented mode and run u r code too instrumented mode (while running the app make sure instrumentApp capability)

I’m using Safari. Is it possible to launch it instrumented ?
I’m using those capabilities :

            capabilities.setCapability("platformName", platform);
            capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", platformVersion); //Replace this with your Android version
            capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", deviceName); //Replace this with your simulator/device
            capabilities.setBrowserName(MobileBrowserType.SAFARI);

Any tips for this new problem ?

Ok. It appeared as if you used an Hybrid app but this is a pure web application.

  • Do an inspect via Object spy on whole flow and check if the element is supposed to visible or not.
  • Also check while doing this if some other element is above this element.

Is iOS 13.4.1 is compatible with latest appium studio version - 20.4.6801 ?

Only 13.4 is supported till now.

I still have problem with AppiumStudio and Safari. For exemple, on a makeVisible method (which do a scroll with javascript) :

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error (An unknown server-side error occurred. status=‘false’.
