WinAppDriver Calculator Example Java

This article will show how the calculator app can be automated using winappdriver.

1.) Run WinAppDriver

Go to your installed path of winappdriver and open it.

That's it. The server is now listening to this address. We can now use java to use this address.

2.) Setup Desired Capabilities And WindowsDriver.

        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability("app", "Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App");
        WindowsDriver CalculatorSession = new WindowsDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), capabilities);
        CalculatorSession.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

First, set up desired capabilities and pass in the calculator application name.
Then initiate the windows driver and pass in the address we are listening to and capabilities to it.

3.) Performing calculations

Let's get our inspect.exe and perform division using the calculator app.

    DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability("app", "Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App");
        WindowsDriver CalculatorSession = new WindowsDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), capabilities);
        CalculatorSession.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        CalculatorSession.findElementByName("Clear").click();
        CalculatorSession.findElementByName("Eight").click();
        CalculatorSession.findElementByName("Eight").click();
        CalculatorSession.findElementByName("Divide by").click();
        CalculatorSession.findElementByName("One").click();
        CalculatorSession.findElementByName("One").click();
        CalculatorSession.findElementByName("Equals").click();

We can perform division in this way by using locators by inspect.exe.

        CalculatorSession.findElementByName("Nine").click();
        CalculatorSession.findElementByName("Multiply by").click();
        CalculatorSession.findElementByName("Nine").click();
        CalculatorSession.findElementByName("Equals").click()

This is a part of the code for multiplication.

This way, we can automate the calculator app using winappdriver in java.
