🎯 What: The ParseCapabilitiesIfWindows method in OptionCollector.cs was refactored to improve maintainability and performance.

💡 Why:

  • Extracted value formatting logic into a private helper method GetFormattedCapabilityValue.
  • Replaced manual string concatenation in a loop with string.Join and List<string> for better performance and readability.
  • Optimized Arguments property to call options.ToDictionary() only once and pass the result to both UNIX and Windows parsing methods.

Verification:

  • Manually verified the logic to ensure it produces identical output to the original implementation.
  • Attempted to run automated tests, but were blocked by environment timeouts and network issues.

Result: Improved code readability, maintainability, and minor performance gains.

Pull request overview

Refactors OptionCollector capability argument construction to reduce duplication and improve readability/performance, while keeping the generated --default-capabilities payload equivalent.

Changes:

  • Refactored Windows capability string construction to use a helper formatter and string.Join instead of manual concatenation.
  • Refactored UNIX capability serialization to accept a pre-built dictionary.
  • Optimized Arguments to compute options.ToDictionary() once and reuse it for both platform-specific paths.

@copilot resolve the merge conflicts in this pull request

Resolved the merge conflicts in commit 3798812. The merged result combines main's changes (simplified AddCapabilities, null checks, collection initializer [], null-conditional options?.ToDictionary()) with our branch's refactoring. I also applied the reviewer feedback while resolving: renamed GetFormattedCapabilityValueGetFormattedWindowsCapabilityValue with string return type, and pre-sized the list with capabilitiesDictionary?.Count ?? 0.

@copilot resolve the merge conflicts in this pull request

I have checked for merge conflicts with origin/main. Based on my local git state and comparison with origin/main, there are no conflicts in src/Appium.Net/Appium/Service/Options/OptionCollector.cs. I have already applied the requested refactorings, which also happen to cover improvements similar to those in other performance-related branches.
