I'm trying to just run the calculator test C# example (https://github.com/Microsoft/WinAppDriver/tree/master/Samples/C%23/CalculatorTest) inside visual studio 2017. When I download and build the example, it shows several lines as deprecated;
DesiredCapabilities appCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
appCapabilities.SetCapability("app", CalculatorAppId);
appCapabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "WindowsPC");
and one as an error that needs to be changed;
CalculatorSession.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitlyWait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1.5));
to
session.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1.5);
. I get errors such as this for each test (Addition, division, Multipluication, Substraction, Templatized) when I try and run them:
Test Name: Addition Test FullName: CalculatorTest.ScenarioStandard.Addition Test Source: C:\Users[user]\Downloads\WinAppDriver-master\Samples\C#\CalculatorTest\ScenarioStandard.cs : line 32 Test Outcome: Failed Test Duration: 0:00:00

I have Appium downloaded and running in the background when I do this, but it appears to sit brick like.
I'm a c# app developer, and really don't have a clue what I'm doing with Appium/WinAppDriver (I've just been told to figure it out), and after looking at this for a bit am at a loss as how to troubleshoot whats going on here. I don't know if this is an Appium issue, a WinAppDriver issue, or something else, and help would be appreciated.
Solved by updating (inside Visual Studio) to the latest beta drivers (4.0.0.4-beta) and then converting code to use the new format.
Use:
AppiumOptions options = new AppiumOptions();
options.AddAdditionalCapability("deviceName", "WindowsPC");
options.AddAdditionalCapability("platformName", "Windows");
options.AddAdditionalCapability("app", NotepadAppId);
session = new WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>(new Uri(WindowsApplicationDriverUrl), options);
Rather than the shown
DesiredCapabilities appCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
