The documentation from wd says, ([http://appium.io/docs/en/commands/interactions/touch/double-tap/](http://appium.io/docs/en/commands/interactions/touch/double-tap/) )  
// Not supported

// wd example  
// Using tapElement method  
await driver.tapElement(elementOne);

// Using touch actions  
let action = new wd.TouchAction();  
action.tap({el: element});  
await action.perform();

Is there no method for double tapping an element using the javascript client? If there is a workaround for this problem?

I’ll try this and post the results. There seems to be no doubleTap though which is supported by other clients. Thanks

Hi @Bilal_Jarwan,

I tried the doubleClick() method. But looks like there is no such method. I get an error .

This is my method.

```
async doubleTapElement() {
        let action = new (<any>(this._driver.wd())).TouchAction(this._driver.driver);
        action.moveTo(this.trebleText());
        action.doubleClick();
        await action.perform(); 
    } 

```

This is the error message, **TypeError: action.doubleClick is not a function**

I also checked with action.doubleclick(); since the documentation says doubleclick() and not doubleClick(). But same error
