Problem Swipe with Appium 1.6.3 [iOS 10]

Support
1

Hi !

I’m using:
macOS Sierra 10.12
iPhone (real device) with iOS 10.1
Xcode 8.1
Appium 1.6.3

I’m using method ‘Swipe’ with:

driver.swipe(400, 50, 900, 50)

but it is not worked for me.
I try with:

driver.swipe(400, 50, -900, 50)

It’ s worked but result is two swipe from left to right (expected result is one swipe)

The swipe method needs 5 parameters:
driver.swipe(start_x, start_y, end_x, end_y, duration)

you can also use:
elem.swipe(SwipeElementDirection.LEFT, 600)

But watch out, driver.swipe is going to be deprecated with java client 5.
Maybe you should go for TouchActions:
driver.performTouchAction(new IOSTouchAction(driver).press(elem)
.moveTo(0, elem.getLocation().getY())
.release());

@derunewige Thank you for help me.
I saw this link https://github.com/appium/python-client/blob/master/appium/webdriver/webdriver.py#L242 and I have read not work with Selenium 3.
Your commands are for Java. Is it possible receive this in Python? Thank you

sry, I have no plan of the exact python code.
I just had a short look here: appium-bindings

Maybe this link could also be helpful for you: #issues-bugs137

Thank you for help me.
I have tried to execute with TouchAction but the swipe is performed twice [Python]:

touch_action = TouchAction(driver)
touch_action.press(element_found, 0, 452).wait(1000).move_to(element_found, 691, 452).release().perform()

Do you have any pointer please ?

Your version of Appium 1.4 is not compatible with xcode 8. You need to upgrade to Appium 1.6 if you will be using xcode 8. Otherwise, stick with Appium 1.5.3 and Xcode 7.3.

Hi,

I used elem.swipe(SwipeElementDirection.LEFT, 600) but it seems Appium 1.6.3 has problem with swipe in general because when I say .LEFT it scrolles down.
swipe needs a review.

You are having issues with the inspector, so this is a different problem.

Please open a new issue

The following is working fine using Javascript with wd and wd-bridge with Appium 1.6.3 on iPhone 7 running iOS 10.2:

var iosSwipe = function (opts) {
    var action = new wd.TouchAction();
    var dx = opts.endX - opts.startX;
    var dy = opts.endY - opts.startY;
    action
        .press({x: opts.startX, y: opts.startY})
        .wait(opts.duration)
        .moveTo({x: dx, y: dy})
        .release();

    action.driver = wdBrowser;
    return wdBrowser.performTouchAction(action);
};

e.g. left swipe

iosSwipe({
    startX: 400,
    startY: 100,
    endX: 50,
    endY: 100,
    duration: 500
});

Thank you! After much searching and experimentation, this is the only solution I’ve found that works for me.

Appium - Python scroll to an element in page:
el = self.driver.find_element_by_id(‘Logout’)
self.driver.execute_script(‘mobile: scroll’, {“element”: el, “toVisible”: True})

Maybe someone is using Python to perform swipe up on iOS10? :slight_smile:

I am struggling with double tap on real device - double tap works for me only on emulator and swipe up, on both real device and emulator with iOS 10.3.

Can anyone help me with this?

   start_x = size["width"] * 0.5
    start_y = size["height"]
    end_x = size["width"] * 0.5
    end_y = size["height"] * 0.5

action.press(el, start_x, start_y).wait(1000).move_to(el, end_x, end_y).release().perform()

I want to swipe up to show control center and turn on flight mode on iOS. I already tried a lot of combinations and other methods like:

   self.driver.swipe(start_x=0, start_y=start_y, end_x=0, end_y=-20, duration=1000)
   self.driver.flick(start_x=100, start_y=height_max, end_x=100, end_y=200)

I am using Mac OS 10.12 with Appium 1.6.5 and newest Python client 0.24.

**OK I GOT THIS xD - the wait was a problem, when I changed it from 1000 do 100 it worked :slight_smile:

action.press(el, start_x, start_y).wait(100).move_to(el, end_x, end_y).release().perform()
