Failed to locate open application window issue appID and Processid.

Hi,

I am having a problem with an application, I’ve successfully managed sessions for other apps using the root session. This app is behaving differently though for that code path just at the basic launch app steps, the app when launched manually seems to from monitoring task manager getting and retaining the same process ID.

However when run through a coded WinAppDriver session, I can see the session launch with a processID and then it closes then my code crashes.

` var capabilities = new AppiumOptions();

        capabilities.AddAdditionalCapability(MobileCapabilityType.App, @"C:\Program Files\QDAQ\QDAQ.exe");
        capabilities.AddAdditionalCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PlatformName, "Windows");
        capabilities.AddAdditionalCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DeviceName, "NOELF-L-W10");

        WindowsDriver<WindowsElement> session = new WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), capabilities);`

I am not really sure how to handle this, do I need to somehow ignore the initial process ID?

I am getting some developer help this afternoon but wanted to know if there was a standard way to address this.

Yes we used Nlog for this application, we’ve narrowed the problem now to the launching through WinAppDriver the app launches but then checks for the Nlog.config file in the Windows Application Driver root instead where it should be looking in the app directory. On reflection it’s probably not a WinAppDriver issue.

“Nlog file path can’t be found” are you using Nlog for logging?
