Windows Application: Not able to Switch to iframe window nested inside the same window.

 
 

 

 

Firstly, I have tried driver.switchTo().frame("framename"); but it does not switching to that.

 

driver.switchTo().frame("xxx"); /// Throws an {"status":7,"value":{"error":"no such element","message":"An element could not be located on the page using the given search parameters."}}

 

Analysis: After dig into deeper, I found that the particular frame locators were not even present inside the page source. Any idea on how to switch to that frame.

 

P.S. I'm using WinApp driver.

Note: Same scenario in web, I'm able to switch using switchTo iframe elements. but not in desktop Power BI.

 

Any thoughts?

      amitchandak Yes, It is. I have also changed frame 'automationID', frame 'className' etc... and tried, Still it does not switching to that. Seems it might be a new session i.e. that frame load.
