How to use the below element using webdriverIO

[diptilenka]

I have attached my application view for About tab displayed for not using winappdriver with WebdriverIO.

await (await (await $('//*[@automationId=\"AboutTb\"]')).shadow$('//RadioButton[@Name=\"About\"]')).waitForDisplayed(); I have written to detect the About link in my windows custom application, but it always failed to locate the element. Am i doing something wrong.

diptilenka Per your screen it should be something like await (await (await $('//*[@automationId=\"AboutTb\"]')).shadow$('//*[@Name=\"About\"]')).waitForDisplayed();

[diptilenka]

Now it shows this error @Shakevg

@diptilenka Sorry, github removed char after "//". I fixed code above, try one more time

diptilenka Unfrotantly I don't work with webdriverIO. Could you please post screen from Inspector.exe with the control that has this XPath: @automationId=\"AboutTb\" Why do you use @automationId but not @AutomationId

I post in webdriverIO Gitter channel too, but no response till now. Whether it is automationId or AutomationId, it has same issues.

e.g ?

The automation id is not there for "about" that is the reason you are getting the error, my bad i missed it, by other i mean by name.

Tried that too, still no success, does you are having any working repo to try with. Seems like webdriverIO+winappdriver.

[diptilenka]

@anunay1 The appp is x64 WPF application running on .NET framework 4.8 it uses MahApps.Metro 1.6.2 for the controls
