electron-spectron webdriverIO how to get a video tag source?

Question

I am now write some tests with electron-spectron.

After spectrum start my app, I want to check if my video is stopped or not

the code is like

element

<video muted autoplay id='videoContainer' class='video'></video>

test code

.given("",function(){
    //do something
})
.when("",function(){
    //do something
})
.then("the player should stop the program", function() {

    return app.client.someFuncton('//*[@id="videoContainer"]')
        .then(result=>{
            console.log(result)  // suppose to get my video source
        })
})

It seems that webdriverIO doesn't have an API like getElementById that I can use to find my video tag's source.

Do someone have any good idea?

Here is the documentation for selector in WEBDRIVERIO.

If you want to select an object with id or classname you need to use your selector parameters like below.

'#' means you are looking for element with id.

app.client.someFunction('#yourElementsId')

'.' means you are looking for element with class.

app.client.someFunction('.yourElementsClassname')
