[@thalai143]

Sir, You are doing a commendable job for the QA community. Please also release an explanatory video for integration of Appium Scripts with CI/CD tools like Gitlabs especially. Please Sir, We really need your assistance for Mobile Automation regarding remote execution

Is the gesture plugin support for apple tv remote? Because in tvos automation there are scenario for swiping the remote for scrolling till end of progress bar

[@linkin_park___5106]

Hello sir, can you tell me or make video on how to tap an element using its (x,y)
coordinates?

[@Merkano2007]

Thanks for sharing. I have 2 questions:
- If we don't have accessibilityId in the app we are using, is there a way to use id instead? or xpath?
- Does this plugin work only in NATIVE_APP context?

[@qavbox]

You can ask the developers to add accessibilityID for each element for your app.
The plugin should work for webview, but never tried.

RemoteWebElement winterware = (RemoteWebElement) driver.findElement(By.xpath("//com.snapdeal.sdrecyclerview.widget.SDRecyclerView/android.widget.LinearLayout[1]"));
driver.executeScript("gesture: swipe", ImmutableMap.of("elementId", winterware.getId(), "percentage", 10, "direction", "left"));
itried with x path it worked
but i have one more doubt swiping should be done till element located how it can be done

[@lokeshdarne]

@qavbox Any option for remote execution as I don't have appium in my local machine

[@qavbox]

You can run your tests on cloud providers like browserstack / saucelabs / headspin etc

[@maitrayeedevi1611]

for these gestures,if I do not have id but xpath is there then how to implement this?

[@qavbox]

You can identify the elements with Xpath, and then use the getId method to use it in gestures

[@user-yj1wr1lt1m]

[@eminz.8554]

Why we need these kinds of plugins to perform gestures? Why there is no Class like Actions in Selenium? Also do you know when the Appium team will publish the detailed documentation? Its still in progress? Also how can start server programatically with this gesture plugin?

[@qavbox]

Actions class got deprecated in appium to support the w3 actions.
Appium is also in progress in documentation and you can refer appium.io/docs/en/2.0/

[@qavbox]

You can refer to these playlist for all appium related gesture implementation

Hi,While trying to implement this feature on current Appium 2.0.I am getting this error message => org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: {"value":{"error":"unknown method","message":"Method is not implemented". This issue has been killing me for past two days.Please help as none of the solutions have been working so far.

[@qavbox]

Can you check if you started the appium server with command as "appium --use-plugins=gestures"
Then run the appium code?

[@mohamedakram3808]

@@qavbox yes bro I ran like that as well.Infact I tried with multiple versions of Appium-Java client and testng versions but to no avail.

[@AliHamza-vm9cr]

Any luck on this issue? I am facing the same

[@qavbox]

Can any of you share any of your git repo or code block using to perform gesture and the appium server command?
