Overall my problem is I am trying to automate a Windows 10 application with WinnAppDriver and writing my automation in Python. There seems to be very little information on how to do this as most WinAppDriver examples are in Java (understandable...). But I BARELY know the basics of Python and nothing about Java. So...is there a book or video I'm missing? Specifically I installed everything (Python via VS Code) and actually got the Python sample Calculator test to run....then I had to restart my PC and I get the following error:
I apologize for being such a newbie.... I had learned basics of Python via videos so I could implement Sikulix automations and this worked great until I had to switch between computers....it is exceedingly easy to break Sikulix as it is resolution dependent. So...after looking around I decided to try to automate via WinAppDriver...within Python. Wow....I cannot find ANY books or videos on how to do this (since I barely am learning Python and know zero Java). Any help would be appreciated and I WILL prove I will spend the time to watch recommended videos or study recommended books / texts. Thanks so much in advance...
