I have the following code:

action = Appium::TouchAction.new  
action.swipe :start\_x =\> 300, :start\_y =\> 300, :end\_x =\> 1, :end\_y =\> 300, :touchCount =\> 1, :duration =\> 1500  
action.perform

This works in the iOS simulator for the last version of appium 1.4.x. But in 1.5 and above it is no longer working? Is this a known issue.? If not, would anyone have an idea how to work around this to swipe left issue?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Danqa,  
Yes, this issue does occur for Appium 1.5.

> Hi, Recently I’ve started to move to new appium server , but I’ve some issues with already implemented TouchActions gestures , in Appium 1.4.16 + java\_client 3.4.1 the code I’ve works , but while I’m running it against Appium 1.5.1 nothing happens , no execption being thrown , just nothing correct happens (the swipe direction is wrong) Has anyone tackled with the issue ? Thanks

Hi @Arfan1

So I try the work around you showed:

action = Appium::TouchAction.new  
action.press({:x =\> 200, :y =\> 200}).wait(100).move\_to({:x =\> 10, :y =\> 200}).release.perform

but it doesn’t do anything ☹

I am doing this in Ruby. I see no errors in the appium server logs. Any ideas? Does what I have look incorrect?

Fix it:

Correct code to swipe left:

```
action = Appium::TouchAction.new
action.press({:x => 200, :y => 200}).wait(100).move_to({:x => -200, :y => 0}).release.perform
```

Worked for me.

Thanks.
