Appium TouchAction not working

[SOUVIK DUTTA]

Hi Team,

I am unable to perform Appium touch action for my app. I am automating a hybrid application and able to perform most of the operation other than gestures as it is throwing UnsupportedCommand exception.

Here is my code

public static AppiumDriver driver;
public static TouchAction touch;

 
if(browser.equalsIgnoreCase("android")){
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME,"");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName","Android");
capabilities.setCapability("device","Android");
capabilities.setCapability("takesScreenshot","true");
capabilities.setCapability("platformName","Android");
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion","4.4.2");
//capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PLATFORM,"Mac");

capabilities.setCapability("appPackage","uk.co.ee.myee");
capabilities.setCapability("appActivity","uk.co.ee.myee.Launcher");
capabilities.setCapability("udid","989fb005");
driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub"),capabilities);
touch = new TouchAction(driver);
Now I am trying for

touch.press(10, 10).waitAction(300000).moveTo(10,-200).release().perform();

and exception I am getting

org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: unknown command: session/9e5f0b55fdfb2c98dd019f44a7bf9c8a/touch/perform
Command duration or timeout: 19 milliseconds
Build info: version: '2.42.2', revision: '6a6995d31c7c56c340d6f45a76976d43506cd6cc', time: '2014-06-03 10:52:47'

System info: host: 'Praveen-Prabhus-MacBook-Pro.local', ip: '192.168.0.15', os.name: 'Mac OS X', os.arch: 'x86_64', os.version: '10.9.4', java.version: '1.7.0_65'
Session ID: 2aa1b3fc-7437-41be-9665-01fa3d565180
Driver info: io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver

I have debugged the complete code and found that .perform() is the method for which I am getting this exception.

Please let me know what I am missing, I am attaching my POM to list all dependencies - let me know if I am missing anything at POM.

Thanks

moveTo(10,-200) your moving off screen. moveTo should be the end point of the move.

Hi David,

I tried with moveTo(10,-10) but still I am getting the same error.

Actually I am trying to mimic swipe down for android and iOS, but this not going right. Please let me know if you can think of any other stuff I have missed.

Thanks

Ah. You're doing it in a web view. That will not work. You need to look into how ChromeDriver actions work.

Hi Issac,

Please check the first post in 

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/appium-discuss/juIwIUaT43U

I was able to achieve swipe in Webview using AppiumSwipableDriver, which I was able to execute successfully from Windows but the same code didnt run on a MAC. 

Please let me know why this could happen.

Much appreciate your help.

Thanks

Do you have the logs from the windows machine? ChromeDriver is not accepting the command in the log you sent.

[SOUVIK DUTTA]

No Issac,

I have moved my project into a MAC machine .... if you want to get the log I will be able to the same to you soon. 

But as of now could you please provide me a solution on how could achieve a swipe in webview .... do I need to use JavaScriptExecutor or something similar.

Could you please provide me a code snippet.

Thanks

Souvik

Here's a snippet that worked for me:
         
  driver.executeScript("target.

frontMostApp().mainWindow().scrollViews()[1].webViews()[0].staticTexts()[\"(text you want to swipe to\"].scrollToVisible();");

[SOUVIK DUTTA]

Hi Jd,

Do you have any snippet for swiping to particular object in the page, like a button text or link text, is there an option to use a part of the string or regular expression.

Thanks

Souvik
