Environment

• Windows Application Driver: 1.2.1
• Dart package appium_driver: 0.7.1

Detail

I attempted to perform automated testing on the Windows 10 calculator software, and I encountered an error when trying to use the moveTo method from w3c/mouse.dart to move the mouse to a specified location.

The code is as follows:

driver.mouse.moveTo(element: element)

The error message is as follows:

{value: {error: invalid argument, message: 值不能为 null。 参数名: value, stacktrace: InvalidArgumentError: 值不能为 null。 参数名: value at errorFromW3CJsonCode (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\nvm\v22.3.0\node_modules\appium\node_modules\@appium\base-driver\lib\protocol\errors.js:1112:25) at ProxyRequestError.getActualError (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\nvm\v22.3.0\node_modules\appium\node_modules\@appium\base-driver\lib\protocol\errors.js:981:14) at WADProxy.proxyReqRes (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\nvm\v22.3.0\node_modules\appium\node_modules\@appium\base-driver\lib\jsonwp-proxy\proxy.js:410:58) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)}}

WinAppDriver does not support W3C mouse actions.
Consider using either deprecated touchactions (see for example https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver/blob/master/Tests/WebDriverAPI/TouchDownMoveUp.cs)

or the corresponding extensions, for example https://github.com/appium/appium-windows-driver?tab=readme-ov-file#windows-hover
