Swiping a cell resulting in a tap

[iammike]

iOS 10.3, Simulator, Appium Desktop 1.2.4, Java 8.131.
Attempting to swipe a cell from right to left to bring out a swipe-to-delete style button, but I’m getting a tap every time.

Appium Inspector also seems unable to swipe this cell (it’s a standard cell in a Table View) using its built-in swipe simulator.

I’ve always been a user of .swipe, but am attempting to get away from it since its deprecation. Not having a great experience with a seemingly simple TouchAction

My code (cellMidY is the center of the cell - I’m certain this is accurate):

new TouchAction(driver).press(300, cellMidY).waitAction(500).moveTo(-225, 0).release().perform();

Appium server output:

Try waitAction(0) and let me know if it worked

[iammike]

Still tapping. I’ve tried various waits (including none) and nothing seems to change the behavior.

[Telmo_Cardoso]

if you long press that element manually, does it assumes the tap on press or just on release?

[iammike]

It sees the press, but doesn’t perform an action until release.

[Telmo_Cardoso]

Then it should work

Crazy idea, try to do perform() without releasing():

new TouchAction(driver).press(300, cellMidY).waitAction(0).moveTo(-225, 0).perform()

[iammike]

Worth a shot, but “Unsupported gesture” error. All the swipe type gestures require a release.

I know this should work… I’m embarrassed even opening this thread.

I’ll have to check with my developers to see if we’re doing something funky in the code.
