Perform() not working on web element

Support
1

I am new to appium and trying to automate my web view in my app. I have added touchend event listener to a div. Now i want to fire this event from appium using touchAction class.

I tired touchAction on sample native app. It works , but it doesn’t work for Web element in my app. What I am doing wrong?
I went through the following posts but i am not able to solve this issue

Here’s the error : -

Here is my code : -

        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(4, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
	Set<String> contextNames = driver.getContextHandles();
	for (String contextName : contextNames) {
	  System.out.println(contextName);
	  if (contextName.contains("WEBVIEW")){
	    driver.context(contextName);
	  }
	}
	
	WebElement wb = driver.findElement(By.id("thumb_sample1"));
	TouchAction testAction = new TouchAction(driver);
	testAction.tap(wb).perform();

I am using the latest version of appium 1.3.7 , java-client 2.2.0 , selenium 2.45.0

Dear Tarun,

Try this,

Set contextNames = driver.getContextHandles();
for (String contextName : contextNames) {
System.out.println(contextName);
if (contextName.contains(“WEBVIEW”)){
driver.contextName.click();
}
}

Hi skbabu,
I tried your above mentioned lines of code.
I faced the following error :

contextName cannot be resolved or is not a field

shows up in your provided solution.

What we are trying to do by click in your code ?
Thanks for your reply.

((AppiumDriver)driver).tap(numOfFingers,WebElement,durationInMilliSeconds);

Hi amedvedev,

Thanks for your reply!
But It still doesn’t work. It gives the same error. Can I try something else?

I read somewhere that IOS drivers have been implemented from AppiumDriver. Why do we need to cast it in your code?

Also it was written in some post that when i use touchAction class , it uses the class of selenium and not appium. But i was not able to solve the issue as it was not clear.

ok. i am still with 1.3.6.

what about - ((IOSDriver)driver).tap(numOfFingers,WebElement,durationInMilliSeconds);

Why do we need to cast it in your code? - i need it cause i use Google Page Source functionality to walk though pages and mine driver is normal Selenium.

That also didn’t worked! :frowning:
