Scroll is not working in iOS XCUITest framework

Support
1

Hi,

I tried below code to scroll element to up but it is not working. Please help me on this.
Here “element” variable refers to my target element and it is identifiable and return by driver.findElement.

HashMap<String, String> scrollObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
scrollObject.put("element", ((RemoteWebElement)element).getId());
scrollObject.put("direction", "up");
driver.executeScript("mobile: scroll",scrollObject);

Along with the above code I tried below ways as well.

  1. driver.executeScript(“mobile: scrollTo”,scrollObject);
  2. new IOSTouchAction(driver).press(element).moveTo(anotherElement).release().perform();

Below is my Environment:
Framework: XCUITest
Xcode: 8.3.3
Appium : v1.7.2-beta2
iPad iOS version: 10.3.3
io.appium.java-client api version: 5.0.4

Thanks,
Ramesh Sriram

Hi Vikram,

Thanks for your response.

As per the Post, I tried Method1(Mobile: swipe) and Method2(Mobile: scroll) but did not find any response from iPad screen. Also with Co-Ordinates (Mobile: scroll) way.

But I saw little scrolling when I use Co-Ordinates (Mobile: swap) way and it is not resolving my requirement.

My Requirement:
There are 100 elements one of one and 10 elements fits into one complete screen. When I want 80th element, I need to scroll up 80 elements to view my target element.

  • Touch Action scrolling working, but the limitation is I can scroll upto one screen at a time(after move, I can see 11 to 20 elements in the screen)

new TouchAction(driver).press(278, 861).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(100)).moveTo(0, 800-targetElementPoint.y).release().perform();

Above code did work but scrolling end of the page and not stopping at the specified location. Hence i tried below and it worked.
Dimension size = driver.manage().window().getSize();

	    // Define the starting and ending points for the swipe
	    int startX = size.width / 5; // Middle of the screen horizontally
	    int startY = (int) (size.height * 0.8); // 80% down from the top
	    int endY = (int) (size.height * 0.2); // 20% up from the top

	    // Perform the swipe gesture
	    TouchAction touch = new TouchAction((MobileDriver) driver);
	    touch.press(PointOption.point(startX, startY))
	         .waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofMillis(5)))
	         .moveTo(PointOption.point(startX, endY))
             .release()
	         .perform();
