Cannot find name 'driver'

Support
1

I’ve been working with Appium for some days now and I was able to make it running for most of what I want to but I hit a wall when trying to use the driver.hideKeyboard(); and driver.touchScroll() commands.

Maybe I’m missing something like a package with types or the right import, but when trying to use the driver, I get an “Cannot find name ‘driver’”.

Thanks for any help in advance, going in circles here.
