Currently only pen and touch pointer input source types are supported

[valinprogress]

Description

I have a winforms application. I am trying to automate the selection with a mouse in a System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem. The dotnet client won't let me, maybe I'm making a mistake? Maybe someone already solved the issue if it is an issue?

Environment

.NET 6 with C#
Appium server version 2.5.1
dotnet-client: Appium.WebDriver 5.0.0-beta02
Selenium.WebDriver 4.5.1
appium-windows-driver
OS Windows 11
npm 10.5.0
Windows Application

Details

See the exception stack trace. I have slightly modified the sample code provided in the README.

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

var touch = new OpenQA.Selenium.Appium.Interactions.PointerInputDevice(PointerKind.Mouse, "WindowsPC");
var sequence = new ActionSequence(touch);
var move = touch.CreatePointerMove(elementToClick, elementToClick.Location.X, elementToClick.Location.Y, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
var actionPress = touch.CreatePointerDown(MouseButton.Touch);
var pause = touch.CreatePause(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(250));
var actionRelease = touch.CreatePointerUp(MouseButton.Touch);

sequence.AddAction(move);
sequence.AddAction(actionPress);
sequence.AddAction(pause);
sequence.AddAction(actionRelease);

var actions_seq = new List<ActionSequence>
	{
		sequence
	};

driver.PerformActions(actions_seq);

WinAppDriver is not supported by Microsoft for a long time now..

@valinprogress, Can you try running the same code while using the driver below:
https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI.WebDriver

[valinprogress]

@Dor-bl I am trying it. Re to the code in the documentation:

`using OpenQA.Selenium;

public class FlaUIDriverOptions : DriverOptions
{
public static FlaUIDriverOptions App(string path)
{
var options = new FlaUIDriverOptions()
{
PlatformName = "windows"
};
options.AddAdditionalOption("appium:app", path);
return options;
}

public override ICapabilities ToCapabilities()
{
    return GenerateDesiredCapabilities(true);
}

}

var driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://localhost:4723"), FlaUIDriverOptions.App("C:\YourApp.exe"));`

How do I use the method "ToCapabilities()"? In WindowsDriver I have the option

capabilities.AddAdditionalAppiumOption("waitForAppLaunch", "25");

that allows me to bypass the splash screen of my application, but in FlaUI.WebDriver I don't have this option hence the application crashes.

[Dor-bl]

Using capabilities.AddAdditionalOption("waitForAppLaunch", "25"); doesn't work?

[valinprogress]

As per documentation, "waitForAppLaunch" is not supported by FlaUI.WebDriver

You might want to open an issue on their end

[valinprogress]

Thanks @Dor-bl , I will consider to open an issue on FlaUI.WebDriver side

[Dor-bl]

@valinprogress, Can we close this issue since you are taking it with FlaUI?

[Dor-bl]

Closed due to no response.
