I can't find the element using browser.asControl function

[MikhailDryk]

Describe the bug

While I was writing tests to the one of our application Digital Twin

I faced an issue, that I am not able to find control by launching browser.as Control function.

Just below, I will give a couple of examples of how I tried to find SAPUI5 control (I highlighted on the screenshot)

using different selectors:

1. I tried to find it by ID + controlType + viewName
   
2. I tried to find it by controlType + ancestor
   

I show you one of several UI5 elements which I don't find in application.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the application by link
2. Please, get in touch with me ([email protected]) to get creditionals to the application,
3. After logging in and clicking the link, you will see the same application shown in the screenshot.

Expected behavior
I wanted to be able to find UI5 controls using the browser.asControl function.

Runtime Env (please complete the following information):

• wdi5/wdio-ui5-service-version: [^0.9.15]
• UI5 version: [1.108.4]
• wdio-cli-version: [ 7.26.0]
• node-version (output of node --version): [18.14.0]
• OS: [Windows 10 Enterprise]
• Browser + Version [chrome 111.0.5563.111]

Hi @MikhailDryk,

did you already tried to use the Test Recorder to identify the controls? There is a also a special dialect for wdi5.

Hello @Siolto

I have tried to use selector was provided by Test Recorder, but It didn't help me

as a prerequisite before we start digging deeper, please also update wdi5 to its' latest version - you're still running a pre^1 version, many improvements went in since then.

Hello @vobu

I updated version of wdio-ui5-service to the 1.3.2

Without any success

As discussed with @MikhailDryk: Most of his issues will be solved when #355 is resolved. Some other problems with identifying specific controls require more analysis.
