Getting error on using any method of TouchAction

[pranayasahoo]

Description

I was trying to write a method to swipe screen(Up/Down) using TouchAction. But while debugging I found that, it throws an error every time the control comes to touchAction methods.

Environment

• java client - 6.1.0(Tried all the version from 6.0.0-BETA1 till 7.0.0 )
• Appium Desktop - 1.8.0
• Desktop OS - MacOS - 10.14.5
• Node.js version - 6.9.0
• Mobile platform/version under test: Android Emulator(Pixel 3,API 26/27)
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Android Emulator

Desired Capabilities

lAPK = PropertiesFileUtils.getdataFromConfig("apk");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", lDeviceName);
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "*********");
capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "Main");
capabilities.setCapability("autoGrantPermission","true");
capabilities.setCapability("dontStopAppOnReset", "true");
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NEW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, "60");

Code To Reproduce Issue

//Generic function for Scroll
public static String scrollUsingTouchActions_ByElements(WebElement elementToBeFound, String directionOfScroll, int count) {

	
	TouchAction actions = new TouchAction(_appDriver);

	Dimension dimensions = _appDriver.manage().window().getSize();
	Double screenHeightStart = 0.0;
	int scrollStart = 0;
	Double screenHeightEnd = 0.0;
	int scrollEnd = 0;
	
	try {

		if(directionOfScroll.equalsIgnoreCase("Up")) {

			screenHeightStart = dimensions.getHeight() * 0.5;
			scrollStart = screenHeightStart.intValue();
			screenHeightEnd = dimensions.getHeight() * 0.2;
			scrollEnd = screenHeightEnd.intValue();

		}else {

			screenHeightStart = dimensions.getHeight() * 0.5;
			scrollStart = screenHeightStart.intValue();
			screenHeightEnd = dimensions.getHeight() * 0.8;
			scrollEnd = screenHeightEnd.intValue();
		}
		
		while(count > 0) {
			
			try {
			
				actions.press(PointOption.point(500, scrollStart))
				.waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofSeconds(2)))
				.moveTo(PointOption.point(500, scrollEnd)).release().perform();

				if(elementToBeFound.isDisplayed()) {
					break;
				}
			}catch(Exception e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
			
			count--;
			
		}

		return "PASS "+"scrolled successfully";
	}catch(Exception e) {
		e.printStackTrace();

		return "FAIL "+"unable to scroll till the element";
	}
}

Ecxeption stacktraces

While debugging I found that, from action method it directly goes to the below method in java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException class-
public InvocationTargetException(Throwable target) {
super((Throwable)null); // Disallow initCause
this.target = target;
}

So, no error gets printed in the catch block for action methods.

But here is what gets printed in my console -

Check your maven dependencies, something is not good there

@mykola-mokhnach Here is the list of dependencies from POM.xml. Please let me know if you see anything wrong here.

I had also commented out all compile dependencies mentioned here to to avoid conflict.

What is the import statement you have used for
actions.press(PointOption.point(500, scrollStart))

should be something like
import static io.appium.java_client.touch.offset.PointOption.point;
then using something like
actions.press(point(500, scrollStart));

@amitjaincoer191 -
I am using the same thing, except that it's not static
import io.appium.java_client.touch.offset.PointOption

@saikrishna321 @SrinivasanTarget - Please suggest some solution.

Just did a maven clean and it started working
