Azure pipeline giving error An element could not be located at line WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), appiumOptions);

Question

I am getting the error:

ClassInitialize threw exception. OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException: OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException: 
   An element could not be located on the page using the given search parameters..

on line:

var sessionb = new WindowsDriver(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), appiumOptions);

In my local machine it's working fine, but I am getting this error when I run it through Azure pipeline.

It is a desktop application and I have used winappdriver to automate it. Below tasks I have used for release pipeline but not sure whether it is opening the application or not

I am using azure devops repo to store my code and I am using azure devops pipeline to trigger the tests. I have build pipeline and release pipeline, In build pipeline I am building the solution and in release pipeline I am running the scripts.

I have added a PowerShell task in release pipeline to open the application and to run winappdriver before the tests run.

Provide the detailed YAML or JSON of the pipeline definition? — Bright Ran

Show your detailed pipeline definition so that we can know how you configure the test tasks in the pipeline. Also the detailed debugging logs of the failed test tasks. — Bright Ran

Did you check this doc: WinAppDriver in CI with Azure Pipelines?

WinAppDriver supports self-hosted agents only. (HostedVS2019 and HostedVS2017 are not available)
and you need to enable interactive mode: Interactive vs. service
