OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://localhost:4723/session timed out after 60 seconds.

Hi,

I am trying to do a POC on FlaUI.WebDriver after going through the motivation section in readme.md I am trying to get it work but seems I am missing something in my process. Any guidance and help will be appreciated.

1. I have cloned the FlaUI.WebDriver repo and have build it using dotnet (.Net 8.0). I have got the FlaUI.WebDriver.exe and able to start the server as in the readme file.
2. Created a .Net classlib proj with following references :

3. Created a FlaUIDriverOptions.cs file as mentioned in the readme.md. Created a Test to open notepad and write some text
   [Test]
   public void WriteTest()
   {
   using var driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://localhost:4723"), FlaUIDriverOptions.ForApp("C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsNotepad_11.2407.9.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\Notepad\Notepad.exe"));
   driver.FindElement(By.Name("Text editor")).SendKeys("Hello world!!!");
   }

Running the test is failing with the following error -

Starting test execution, please wait...
A total of 1 test files matched the specified pattern.
Failed WriteTest [1 m]

The FlaUI.WebDriver.exe has the following error -

It opens the Notepad app but the driver is not able to get instantiated. I tried using different apps like Calculator, Warehouse management app etc .. but get to the same problem.
Any help is appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Hi @lagori,

Thank you for logging this issue.

Launching UWP apps requires the appium:app to be set to <package family name>!App, because it launches a different process underneath and closes the initial process.

I will also try to improve the error handling for this unhandled exception so that it is a little more clear what is happening: it cannot find the main window for this app.

Thanks @aristotelos I am now able to launch the app and do the desired actions. Many Thanks. Also I found a link to download the exe assets. [https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI.WebDriver/releases] I guess adding this link in the readme.md will help people to download directly rather than building the project locally. Thanks again for your prompt response.
