Hi,

In the Appium wiki page (https://github.com/appium/appium/wiki/Automating-mobile-gestures) the following endpoints are mentioned:

session/:sessionId/touch/tap
session:/sessionId/touch/flick_precise
session:/sessionId/touch/swipe

However, when using TouchActions of the newest Java bindings of WebDriver (2.35):

A call to "singleTap", calls /touch/click (i.e., not "tap"). Which, in my application at least, causes the Appium server to output an error and drop the client without notifying it, so the client just hangs.
A call to "flick", calls /touch/flick (instead of "flick_precis"), which works fine.

Which is endpoints are correct? The documnentation or the java bindings?

Thanks,

Daniel

Daniel, what is the error output you see from Appium here?

A call to "flick", calls /touch/flick (instead of "flick_precis"), which works fine.

flick_precise is called when you run the "mobile: flick" command, which allows for a different combination of parameters than the regular flick. If regular flick is working for you, then go with that.

Hi Jonathan, thanks for the reply. Here's the error output (I'm also attached the previous command's output at the begining, just to show that the element which I'm trying to tap on had been found correctly):
