win app driver 1.2.1 freezes when looking for an element

[samkhayal]

so i have an application i am testing when i need to click a sub menu to open a pop window and then click add to go add a file and once i click ok another pop up window will be displayed to select the fields i would like to include in my file i need to uplaod. so far until this point it work and then i click ok and close all windows and that part works fine. the window that has the fields i need to include is rows and columns and i am using class name to located the elements. however when i have this in a loop since i have more than one file to upload the window the second i click on the sub menu all the way until i get the pop up to select the fields i would like to include here win app driver does not do anything anymore and keeps running like in infinite loop for hours .

anyone had the same issue and what did u do to overcome it ? i included a snippet of what win app driver keeps showing

{"using":"xpath","value":"//DataItem[@classname='Record'][@name='TemplateManager.TemplateFieldsExtended']"}

Exception: Encountered element sharing the same runtimeId 7.52968.57669563

existing Object {, Cell, 7.52968.57669563}

Ignoring new object and keeping existing one

@samkhayal Looks like it is a known issue in WinAppDriver #632
I didn't find a workaround, just skip operation that cause an error
