xpath relative to element does not work

hellozyemlya commented 1 year ago

It seems like that relative xpath does not work:

        console.log("Trying Relative xpath")
        console.log(await element.findElements("xpath", `.//*[@identifier="Ident"]`))
        console.log("----")

results it in same requests to webdriver as browser.findElements("xpath",//*[@identifier="Ident"])

logs:

    ELEMENT: '0D4E28E9-CF9F-4D71-A256-9DB398A3A361'
  },
  {

    ELEMENT: 'F480DFA1-4221-4154-9007-F0C11FBD5B1A'
  }
]

If that is expected, is that possible to query child elements by identifier in other way?

Maybe I am using findElements in incorrect way, if I replace findElements to $$, then everything works fine...
