[ios device] Can not swipe on ios device

[tran.minhnhut1986]

I'm newbie in ios appium automation testing. I try to swipe down my device ( real device and simulator) but i have error:

Swipe from x: 256.0 y: 422.4 to x: 256.0 y: 168.0
Have error when swipe app: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: point is not within the bounds of the screen (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

And this is my code for iphone 4s:

static Integer getScreenWidth(IOSDriver driver){
return driver.manage().window().getSize().getWidth();
}

static Integer getScreenHeight(IOSDriver driver){
    return driver.manage().window().getSize().getHeight();
}

public static void swipeUp(IOSDriver driver, Double percentStartX,
                           Double percentStartY, Double percentEndX, Double percentEndY, int duration){

    try {
        Double startX = percentStartX * getScreenWidth(driver);
        Double startY = percentStartY * getScreenHeight(driver);
        Double endX = percentEndX * getScreenWidth(driver);
        Double endY = percentEndY * getScreenHeight(driver);

        Log.info("Swipe from x: " + String.valueOf(startX) + " y: " + String.valueOf(startY) +
                " to x: " + String.valueOf(endX) + " y: " + String.valueOf(endY));

        driver.swipe(startX.intValue(), startY.intValue(), endX.intValue(), endY.intValue(), duration);

// TouchAction action = new TouchAction(driver).longPress(startX.intValue(), startY.intValue(), duration).
// moveTo(endX.intValue(), endY.intValue()).release();
// action.perform();

    }catch (Exception ex){
        Log.error("Have error when swipe app: " + ex);
    }

}

I try to use TouchAtion but still have same error.

Please hep me! Oh, i do not how write code separately, it's same style with normal text >.<

Thanks so much!

thanks for writing your appium version and java client used.

remember in 1.5.x appium swipe endX/endY are relative! but in 1.4.x is absolute.

[tran.minhnhut1986]

Thanks for your help.

appium version: 1.5.2

java -version
java version "1.8.0_73"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_73-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.73-b02, mixed mode)

[Aleksei]

so how you swiping? write example. what values you put to swipe. what screen resolution you have. what apppium server writing in log.

[tran.minhnhut1986]

I want to swipe down iphone 4s screen, screen size: 320x480. Firstly, i get screen width and hight:

static Integer getScreenWidth(IOSDriver driver){
return driver.manage().window().getSize().getWidth();
}

static Integer getScreenHeight(IOSDriver driver){
return driver.manage().window().getSize().getHeight();
}

And then i set percent of point that i want to swipe. I want to swipe from point (256, 422.4) to point (256.0 y: 168.0) so that screen device will down to see some another element in page.

And this is appium log:

i investigated that when executing driver.swipe, app have some error such tabbing point ( 288, 440) but app tab other point and can not click back button on navigation bar.

Any suggest for me?

[vic]

what version of iOS / Xcode? mobile swipe is completely broken in iOS < 9 Xcode < 7 in my experience. You'll have to use iOS 9.X for it to work.

Long standing issue: https://discuss.appium.io/t/ios-8-swipe-scrollto/879

[tran.minhnhut1986]

but i can not run my test on ios 9.X >.<

[CrashTestDummy]

I have the same problem. When I update java-client to 4.0.0, problem has been fixed

[tran.minhnhut1986]

@CrashTestDummy: you have same prolem that can not swipe on ion 8.X or can not run appium test on ios 9.X ?

[CrashTestDummy]

can not swipe, after update appium to 1.5.2. On older version appium (1.4) swipe work fine

[tran.minhnhut1986]

oh great, i will try with appium 1.4

[kineret]

Had the same problem with appium version 1.5.3 and ios ,
for me the solution in python was:
wd.swipe(start point X,start point Y,end point X,end point Y)
for example: wd.swipe(676,1598,0,-930)
