touchPerform not working

[talarari]

copied from docs:

client.touchPerform({
                action: 'press',
                type: {
                    x: 100,
                    y: 250
                }
            });

getting
An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: [object Object] is not iterable!

tried :

client.touchPerform([{
                action: 'press',
                type: {
                    x: 100,
                    y: 250
                }
            }]);

getting :
An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original err
or: Cannot set property 'offset' of undefined

We are planning to build a better API around touch events. Can't say anything yet about release dates tho.

i figured this out, the docs are wrong.
if you do this, it works:

 client.touchPerform([{
                        action: 'press',
                        options: {
                            x: 0,
                            y: 0
                        }
                    },{
                        action: 'moveTo',
                        options: {
                            x: 0,
                            y: 200
                        }
                    },{
                        action: 'release'
                    }]);

Fixed docs. Thanks!

Hi, have anyone encountered following issue with touchPerform?
Method has not yet been implemented Error: Method has not yet been implemented at touchPerform([object Object])

I'm trying to invoke following and it results in aforementioned error:

driver.element(selector)
  .then(elementWrapper => {
      return driver.touchPerform([{
          action: 'tap',
          options: {
              el: elementWrapper.value.ELEMENT,
              x: 0,
              y: 0,
              count: 1
          }
          }]);
  });

Testing against Android with:

• Appium: 1.5.3
• WebdriverIO: 4.2.15

Is the method really not implemented yet (if so, it is weird that above is stated, that it works), or any idea, what am I doing wrong, please? Thanks in advance!

[christian-bromann]

@petrmiko this method only works if you run native apps, not hybrid or web apps it should be a native app

[petrmiko]

@christian-bromann I see, thanks - such info might be useful in docs. Is there an alternative for hybrid/web apps for touch click (tap and long touch variant)? I ask since touchClick and touchLongClick are stated in docs as deprecated so I assume they will be removed in newer versions - moreover they work only on android, not iOS.
