bug: unable to intercept click action using appium proxy

Jayarams99 commented 3 weeks ago

Do I have the most recent component updates?

[X] I use the most recent available driver/plugin and server versions

Is the component officially supported by the Appium team?

[X] I have verified the component repository is present under the Appium organization in GitHub

Is there an existing issue for this?

[X] I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

This issue is related to https://github.com/appium/java-client/blob/master/docs/The-event_firing.md .

The proxy method is not able to intercept click action, only driver based methods are intercepted

Expected Behavior

Please provide a fix or documentation on how to intercept webelement method calls

Minimal Reproducible Example

MethodCallListener listener = new MethodCallListener() {
    @Override
    public void beforeCall(Object target, Method method, Object[] args) {
        if (method.getName().equals("execute")) {
            System.out.println(args[0].tostring());
        }

};

IOSDriver decoratedDriver = createProxy(
        IOSDriver.class,
        new Object[] {new URL("http://localhost:4723/"), capabilities},
        new Class[] {URL.class, Capabilities.class},
        listener
);

decoratedDriver.findElement(Appium.id("id")).click();

Environment

Operating system:
Appium server version (output of appium --version):

It is only possible to wrap instances with proxies upon creation. And since WebElement instances creation is incapsulated in the driver the above isn't possible.

The only workaround would be to intercept the driver's execute method as eventually all WebElement's method calls are routed there.

I tried to intercept execute call but it is not showing the click calls. Please find the code snippet for the same in initial bug details
