The problem

When I tried to use driver.get_device_time() method, it threw this error:

AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'get_device_time'

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.16.0
• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): N/A
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: Windows 10
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): v8.11.3
• Npm or Yarn package manager: npm
• Mobile platform/version under test: android 9
• Real device or emulator/simulator: real device
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: Appium CLI

Details

1. I start appium service by using this command(before that I updated appium to 1.16.0 by using npm -g update appium):

    appium -p 4723
   

2. I set up the driver on my python script:

   driver = webdriver.Remote('http://localhost:4723/wd/hub', desired_caps)
   

3. I am trying to get device time by using:

    driver.get_device_time("YYYY-MM-DD HH")
   

4. I ran the python script and it threw the following error:

   AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'get_device_time'
   

However, if I use the appium desktop app(1.16.0) instead of starting appium on cmd line, it worked fine.
