Appium or Appium Desktop?

You are reporting an issue at the Appium Desktop repository. Appium Desktop is a wrapper around Appium. If you are having trouble running tests, it is much more likely that the problem you are encountering is not a problem with Appium Desktop but with Appium. For that reason we require you to have tried your testcase with Appium CLI before reporting issues. Check the checkbox below to confirm that you have proven your issue does not reproduce on Appium itself:

• [x] I have verified that my issue does not occur with Appium and should be investigated as an Appium Desktop issue

The problem

In 1.17.0 pre-released version it is not possible to attach to a session-id that is not listed in the current sessions.

In release v1.15.1, we can do that without any problem.

Steps to reproduce:

• Go to Custom server > Attach to session
• Write a session-id not listed (for example 1234)
• Click or tab to move outside the field
• The inserted field is automatically cleared and cannot perform "Attach to session"

Environment

• I am running Appium Desktop version v17.1.0.
• I am on (pick one):
  • [ ] Mac
  • [x] Windows
  • [ ] Linux
