WinAppDriver v1.2.99 Internal Error

Using a simple get request to get the status returns a 500 internal error. I am using the x64 build on a x64 architecture. Below command does not throw an error on previous stable build v1.2.1.

Command: wget http://127.0.0.1:4723/status

Response:

GET /status HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:4723 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT; Windows NT 10.0; en-US) WindowsPowerShell/5.1.19041.1023 HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Error Content-Length: 133 Content-Type: application/json {“status”:13,“value”:{“error”:“unknown error”,“message”:“An unknown error occurred in the remote end while processing the command.”}}

It looks like our build system didn’t stamp WinAppDriver with a version number (how curious!)

We’ll fix this in two ways:

1. Emit version info (obviously)
2. Respond to /status even if we cannot produce a version number, as /status is required to work to begin a session with Appium.

Is someone going to fix it? This problem is known for more than a year without any progress 🤷‍♂️
