I have a very simple test that scrolls down on a list of elements and works well when I use the UIAutomator2 driver for Android or XCUITest driver for iOS, but it fails as soon as I switch to the Espresso driver.
I opened an issue directly on the Espresso Driver Github page since it works on the other 2 drivers but not when using the Espresso driver.
But I’m also curious if someone else has dealt with this issue and if they have a suggestion on an effective way to scroll down a list of elements that works reliably with XCUITest and Espresso drivers. For what is worth the app is written on React Native but I’m not convinced that makes much of a difference since it seems to work well with UIAutomator2.
I’m using the Python client and this is a simplified version of my code:
top_element = get_element('top-cell')
bottom_element = get_element('bottom-cell')
actions = TouchAction(driver)
(actions.long_press(bottom_element)
.move_to(top_element)
.release()
def get_element(element_id):
element_ready = expected_conditions.presence_of_element_located(
(MobileBy.ACCESSIBILITY_ID, element_id))
return self.wait.until(element_ready)
And these are the relevant Appium Server logs. There are no errors on the logs as you can see, but the app simply doesn’t scroll. Any suggestions?
