Nightwatch v2 iOS xcuitest #2990

Closed JacquesN16 closed 2 years ago

JacquesN16 commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug

I have recently switched to Nightwatch v2.0 beta for a test on iOS Simulator Device. In my test, I used the method moveToElement() after an assert.visible(). The assertion has passed perfectly, but there is a problem when it executed the moveToElement() method to the same element.

Sample test

sampleTest.js

```js client .url(url) .assert.visible('.ScratchCard__Canvas') .execute('mobile: swipe', {direction: 'up', velocity: 5000}) .pause(2000) .click('#w-cta') .pause(TIMEOUT_LOADER) .assert.visible('.ScratchCard__Canvas') <= received a code : 200 .moveToElement('.ScratchCard__Canvas',100,100) <= received a code: 404 ? ```

The reason for this problem is because the Apple's XCTest test driver's framework is different from the test driver used for Android Virtual Device and it does not natively support W3C standards for TouchAction interface implementation. So some of commands that we can find on NighwatchJS official documentations may not work properly. For that reason, we can use the gestures set that goes with XCtest driver (the list of all the gestures here ). To apply the gesture to Nightwatch test, use browser.execute('mobile: gesture', {arguments})
