"Swipe by coordinates" doesn't work

[Ma2ter]

Appium version: 1.11.0-beta.0 (same with appium 1.9.1 and 1.10) Following code doesn't work:

protected void swipe(int startX, int startY, int endX, int endY) {
        new TouchAction(driver).press(PointOption.point(startX, startY))
                .waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofMillis(3000)))
                .moveTo(PointOption.point(endX, endY))
                .waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofMillis(3000)))
                .release().perform();
    }

if start point hits on the layout element (android.widget.LinearLayout, android.widget.RelativeLayout) . However, if startPoint hits empty space on the screen, scroll is successful.

It completes successfully, but nothing changes on the screen.

Same happening when trying perform "Swipe by coordinates" in appium-desktop.

Can you try the W3C action API instead of the old TouchAction API?

[Ma2ter]

W3C actions works fine, thank you!

Also, I solved the problem with following code:

new TouchAction(driver).longPress(PointOption.point(startX, startY))
                    .moveTo(PointOption.point(endX, endY))
                    .release().perform();

new TouchAction(driver).longPress(PointOption.point(startX, startY))
                    .moveTo(PointOption.point(endX, endY))
                    .release().perform();

yes, change the press to longPress fixed the issue. @jlipps Can you update the appium-desktop, it is still generating the old code.
