right click on application in system tray using winapp driver

[Rahul]

Hello All,

I am trying to automate a right click on a operation on a icon in windows system tray but having difficulties in doing so.

I found one implementation in one of the winappdriver forum but getting error in. below is my following code snippet

require 'selenium-webdriver'


def caps 
    {
        platformName: "WINDOWS", platform: "WINDOWS", deviceName: "mydevice", app: "Root"
    }
end



driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:remote, :url => "http://127.0.0.1:4723/", :desired_capabilities => caps )

driver.find_element(:name, 'Notification Chevron').click
sleep(5)
element = driver.find_element(:name, 'Avast')[0]
driver.action.context_click(element).perform()

and the error I get is 

NoMethodError: undefined method []' for nil:NilClass
   C:/Ruby24-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/selenium-webdriver-3.5.2/lib/selenium/webdriver/common/action_builder.rb:357:inperform'

Any help on this is appreciated

Thank you

It doesn’t know what [0] is. Typically I think you’d use this when there are multiple elements, so maybe there aren’t.

WebDriver is used to drive a browser, it's not aware of the system tray.

It looks like you are trying to use WinAppDriver functionality with base selenium libraries, this will not work for you.

I would suggest looking at https://github.com/Microsoft/WinAppDriver and http://appium.io
