Hi i’m newbie.
I also use Robot + Zoomba + Winappdriver to learn Automating Desktop Application
Do you know any useful tool to get id,name of element ?
Example:
How do I know what is the id, name of Format ?

There are a few tools but a couple are listed in the docs: https://accruent.github.io/robotframework-zoomba/DesktopLibraryDocumentation.html

Namely you could use Accessibility insights for ids, class, name, etc and the WinAppDriver UI Recorder to get an xpath

That format button seems to just have a Name to use:

So you could click this via something like:

Click Element    name=Format

Thanks Sir !!!

I Man, are you ok? I’ve been trying to use zoomba with Robot and I’m having some difficulties, could you give me a hand? Do you have an email that I can contact you?

Hi! Since Zoomba 3.00 both Desktop and Apps testing were moved to Application Library, so that Zoomba could keep updating, due to WinAppDriver and AppiumLibrary update issues.
Hope it helps :slight_smile:
