How to use Xname Stratergy to find elements? about winium.mobile HOT 10 CLOSED

XPath locators are not supported yet. Use of x:Name depends on the language you use to write tests.

For example in python one can simple do

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

By.XNAME = 'xname'

But in C# standard locators can not be extended that way, so one would something similar to implementation in https://github.com/2gis/Winium.StoreApps/blob/master/Winium/TestApp.Test/Samples/WpDriver.cs#L67

Hi @NickAb

@Pranodayd, sorry, I misread your question. What I meant is that x:Name set in XAML can be obtained as a value of xname attribute of XML element when using pageSource command.

Here is the answer to you original question:
When using getAttribute command x:Name might be accessed using Name property, e.g.

element.getAttribute("Name")

Note that accessing Name property would require at least DependencyProperties access level set in commandSettings.elementAttributeSettings.accessModifier capability, it won't be accessible if AutomationProperties level is explicitly set. You should be all set by default if you have not specified this capability at all.
