OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException while creating an object for Windows Driver

I am facing “OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException” very frequently when I execute the unit test. I had executed WinAppDriver.exe with admin rights and when I execute the unit test it throws an exception. This exception is primarily observed after adding the Desired Capabilities. Below is the code snippet where this exception is observed.

AppiumOptions capabilities = new AppiumOptions(); capabilities.AddAdditionalCapability("app", "Root"); WindowsDriver<WindowsElement> localSession = new WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), capabilities);

Issue is observed when creating WindowsDriver object.

Exception Details: OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException: ‘Unexpected error. System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server —> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 127.0.0.1:4723 at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoConnect(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress) at System.Net.ServicePoint.ConnectSocketInternal(Boolean connectFailure, Socket s4, Socket s6, Socket& socket, IPAddress& address, ConnectSocketState state, IAsyncResult asyncResult, Exception& exception) — End of inner exception stack trace — at OpenQA.Selenium.Appium.Service.AppiumCommandExecutor.Execute(Command commandToExecute) at OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.Execute(String driverCommandToExecute, Dictionary`2 parameters)’

NOTE:

1. Added WinAppDriver to the Firewall exception list.
2. It opens the application but throws the above exception on line where we create object localSession.

Kindly let me know where the issue is and how do I fix it permanently. I am new to Automation Development environment.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks @anunay1 for pointing out to this. The IsKeyboardFocusable property is True but it was my mistake that I accidentally moved the mouse pointer before it tracks and clicks the menu item.

Nothing wrong with your code, what is the value of IsKeyboardFocusable: in inspect.
