Touch Events with Selenium on chrome

[Balaram Vineeth Venugopal.P]

Hi guys,

Is there a way to simulate touch events in chrome with the touchactions class

https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/interactions/touch/TouchActions.html

I can see that chrome has mobile emnulation as per this page on the chrome driver website

https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/mobile-emulation

I get the following exception message :

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: touchFlick

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: touchFlick

With the following  code :

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();

    Map<String, String> mobileEmulation = new HashMap<>();

    mobileEmulation.put("deviceName", "Nexus 5");

    ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();

    chromeOptions.setExperimentalOption("mobileEmulation", mobileEmulation);

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);

    driver.get("https://www.google.com");

    WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[title=\"Google apps\"]"));

    element.click();

    WebElement element1 = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[href*=\"/calendar\"]"));

    new TouchActions(driver).flick(element1, 0, 200, 0).build().perform();

  }

Is this a chrome issue?

Would appreciate some help with this. 

Thanks
