Description

Starting winapp driver session fails after we upgraded Selenium to 4.8.1 and appium to 8.3.0. I am trying to launch windows desktop application.
I followed documentation: appium migrate 7 -> 8

public void winAppInitialization() {
	if (winAppSession != null && winAppSession.getSessionId() != null) {
		return;
	}
	try {
		BaseOptions capabilities = new BaseOptions();
		capabilities.setCapability("app", appLocation);

		AppiumServiceBuilder serviceBuilder = new AppiumServiceBuilder();
		serviceBuilder.withCapabilities(capabilities).usingAnyFreePort().withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10));
		AppiumDriverLocalService appiumDriverLocalService = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(serviceBuilder);

		appiumDriverLocalService.start();

		WindowsDriver driver = new WindowsDriver(new URL("http://localhost:" + appiumDriverLocalService.getUrl().getPort() + "/wd/hub"), capabilities);
		driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(10));

	} catch (Exception e) {
		throw new InitializationException("Error at initializing win app driver, win driver location: "
				+ winDriverURL + " and app location: " + appLocation);
	}
}

Error

Please provide the full Appium server log

@mykola-mokhnach I've updated Initilaization class where I start appium server first and then starting winapp driver. Here's logs:

Unfortunately I cannot help without the full server log

How about this, it's not helpful either?

This looks like an error from an older client version. Consider using the most recent one as we don't backport fixes to older releases.
