How to do automate "Pull to refresh" gesture in iOS

[Amit Rawat]

I am automating an app which has a list view and we need to do "Pull to refresh" to refresh the items in the list view. Is it possible to automate this gesture using Java?

Thanks,

Amit.

Did you look at mobile:swipe, Make sure have proper x and y coordinates and look at this  - https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/appium-discuss/swipe/appium-discuss/uJdd4Cadpf8/0dNZtiHVX5wJ

I would try a slow downward swipe, using "mobile: swipe"

Hello,

I have a similar situation where I need to check the "pull to refresh" gesture in iOS app (currently running on Appium 0.17.6 and iOS 7.1). As "mobile: swipe" is not supported in iOS7, is there any other alternative?

Played with drag, scroll, but no luck.

Thanks,

Unmesh

I'm also on the same boat. Pull to refresh doesn't work with swipe. I would really appreciate if some one can share a code sample that works.

Did you have any luck with this?  I'm trying to figure this out as well, and would like to bump this thread in general.  Anyone figure out a decent working example?

Sorry to say, this was not a good answer. From the unanswered questions below, it would appear that Appium is still sorely lacking for IOS gestures, even in 1.1.0.

This is the best explanation I have seen from Sauce Labs, and I don't know how to use this.  getID does not work in IOS. ID is not supported by Find (By.id (whatever)) in IOS. Therefore, I have my doubts the following code snippet works.

// java
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
HashMap<String, String> scrollObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
scrollObject.put("direction", "down");
scrollObject.put("element", ((RemoteWebElement) element).getId());
js.executeScript("mobile: scroll", scrollObject);
