touchAction: longPress, moveTo, waitAction, release - doesn't work

Description

I need to implement following gesture. Press on some element on the screen, move it to another element, waiting for 5 seconds and release it.

Trying to use below touchAction: TouchAction touchAction = new TouchAction((AndroidDriver) driver); touchAction.longPress(FirstElement).moveTo(TwoElement.getCenter().x, TwoElement.getCenter().y).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(15000)).release().perform(); But it doesn’t work. Nothing happens on the screen.

Environment

• java client build version: 5.0.0-BETA9
• Appium server: 1.7.1
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium if necessary: macOS 10.13.3
• Mobile platform/version under test: Nexus 5X API 24, 7.0
• Real device or emulator/simulator: emulator

Details

If I use below touch action: touchAction.longPress(FirstElement, Duration.ofMillis(15000)).moveTo(TwoElement.getCenter().x, TwoElement.getCenter().y).release().perform();

I see that required element is moving on the page, but it doesn’t wait before releasing.

Code To Reproduce Issue

TouchAction touchAction = new TouchAction((AndroidDriver) driver); touchAction.longPress(FirstElement).moveTo(TwoElement.getCenter().x, TwoElement.getCenter().y).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(15000)).release().perform();

@Garreth210 You are missing the waitAction.

new TouchAction(driver).press(ElementOption.element(element1))
.waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofSeconds(3))).moveTo(ElementOption.element(element2)).release().perform();
