How to interact with child window screen along with Parent? about selenium-appium HOT 3 CLOSED

What do you mean child app, another window process, or just another Window in the same app?
You can find the document about JavaScript WebDriver API.

If you are talking Window, It's possible you are looking for:
this.getWindowHandle() → Promise
this.getAllWindowHandles() → Promise<Array>

If you are launching child process, it's possible to start another session with appId = "Root", then search for the element.

It's more easy to communicate if you knows which endpoint your java client hit.

just another Window in the same app which get's popup after interacting with the App @licanhua

// Parent app windows
it("Get RHAM App Title", async function () {
let rhamTitle = await RHAMPage.getTitleBar();
expect(rhamTitle).equal('Remote Hardware Access');
});

// This test launches separate new app window
it("Restart WebSocket Client", async function () {
await RHAMPage.clickRestarWebSocket();
});

// Want to take action on separate new app window
it("Clear SignalRClient", async function () {
await RHAMPage.clearClientScreen();
});

const getAllWin = await driver.getAllWindowHandles();
const allWinHandles = await driver.getWindowHandle();
console.log('All Windows', getAllWin); // All Windows [ '0x002C0882' ]
console.log('WindowHandle', allWinHandles); //WindowHandle 0x0025072A

I feel like driver.getAllWindowHandles() should provide these, but the returned array is always empty for me.
The workaround that I'm using is to use a root driver to find a window by name.
I'm not in love with it, as finding a window from root takes 5-10 sec, but it is working on my multi-window application.

I have this helper:

import { By2, WebDriver2, windowsAppDriverCapabilities } from "selenium-appium"
let rootDriver

export const getWindowDriver = async (name) => {
  // first request will create a root driver  
  if (!rootDriver) {
    rootDriver = new WebDriver2()
    await rootDriver.startWithCapabilities(windowsAppDriverCapabilities("Root"))
  }

  const item = By2.nativeName(name, rootDriver)
  const hexId = parseInt(
    await item.getAttribute("NativeWindowHandle")
  ).toString(16)
  const driver = new WebDriver2()
  await driver.startWithCapabilities({
    browserName: "",
    platformName: "windows",
    deviceName: "WindowsPC",
    appTopLevelWindow: hexId,
  })

  return driver
}

and then tests can request window drivers with this:

// do something that opens a window called "MyApp Settings"
const settingsDriver = await getWindowDriver("MyApp Settings")
await By2.nativeName("edit button", settingsDriver).click()
