Cannot use method TouchAction to process clicking the menu icon in Google page for real Android device

[Lynn907]

Hi,

I use click, and tap method to click the left top corner menu icon in Google Home page for Android 5.0 device, but it's failed.

Here is the method I used. Please help me check the issue and advise the right method to process the action.

driver.navigate().to(https://www.google.com);
driver.context("WEBVIEW_1");
WebElement menu = driver.findElement(By.id("gbg"));
menu.click();
OR:
TouchAction touchAction = new TouchAction(driver);
touchAction.tap(menu).release().perform();

here is the screenshot for menu icon in google page and the screen after clicking the menu icon:

What does "failed" mean? Can you post the Appium server logs?

I'm guessing it has to do with the javascript events that the app is listening for not matching those that the atoms are sending

I am facing the similar problem. Can't click on any webview object on chrome browser on any android device.

No error in appium logs. #5015

For some reason clicking the menu button does not work but clicking "Images" or "Web" does. Strange.

However, you can exit to the NATIVE_APP and then use the TouchAction#tap method, which works.

My test:

    it('should tap the hamburger menu on google.com', function (done) {
      var el;
      driver
        .get('http://google.com')
        .contexts().then(function (ctxs) {
          return driver.context(_.first(ctxs);
        })
        .elementByClassName('android.webkit.WebView')
        .then(function (_el) {
          el = _el;
          var action = new TouchAction(driver);
          return action.tap({x: 50, y: 300}).perform();
        })
        .then(function () {
          return el.elementByAccessibilityId('Maps');
        })
        .click()
        .sleep(3000) // google maps be slow
        .contexts().then(function (ctxs) {
          return driver.context(_.last(ctxs));
        })
        .url().should.eventually.include('https://www.google.com/maps')
        .waitForElementById('ml-searchboxinput').should.eventually.exist
        .nodeify(done);
    });

I have tried with your case. It works. Thanks a lot!:)

Yeah X and y works but it doesn't work with Element targets, i did some search and you have a bug already open #4075.

I had such an error once, I solved it by...
Make sure that you don't have both of these in your py:

from selenium import webdriver
from appium import webdriver

I had imported both while using selenium explicit waits to find my elements. Never, do so, Its a trap.
