An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command while swipe

[Ahmed_Zainy]

I get the following Exception using appium An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. when i run this code
driver.Swipe(loc1.X, loc1.Y, loc1.X - 110, loc1.Y, 2000);

I use this line of code to swipe specific element to left, after done swipe to left i got this exception how i can solve it ?

please post a complete log file. I guess that loc1.X-110 exceeds your application's width in this case.

please log loc1.x

are you running on ios (swipe is broken on ios 8 Simulator afaik) or android?

[Ahmed_Zainy]

I'm running on android 4.2

[yunmenzhe]

hi, I met the same issue on Android 4.4.2 and didn't find any resolution, have you resolve it?

[Real_Lau]

Any update on this issue? I met the same issue on Android 4.4.2 too. I can swipe from right to left but it can NOT work from bottom to top. This is strange. My appium version is the newest: 1.5.0.

key error log is as below:

Update: @Ahmed_Zainy @yunmenzhe
After research adb command, I found a temporary way to solve this: if you want swipe, you could call a system command: adb shell input swipe start_x start_y end_x end_y. E.g.: adb shell input swipe 300 500 300 100, it means: swipe from 300, 500 to 300, 100 which also means swipe from bottom to top.

My issue occurred when trying to swipe from right to left and I resolved it by waiting 0.5 second after launch the app.

[Real_Lau]

OK! That's good. Congratulation!

[yunmenzhe]

I will try your resolution later.
