Swipe/flick - operation

  • Android - mobile devices
  • Apple iPhone/iPad (iOS)

This operation simulates moving a finger on the screen by a specified size and direction, in a specified time.

Based on the speed (calculated from size and time) the application decides if swipe or flick is performed.

Swiping/flicking on the screen

This operation is simulating a finger movement gesture - it works the same way as if your finger is sliding on the screen.

Meaning the content of the app moves the opposite way.

Swipe/flick gesture

Swiping / flicking can be performed from:

  • an element - from the center of its bounding box (if the element is obscured by other elements or not completely visible the operation may not work as expected)

  • a position - from specified coordinates defined in pixels relative to the top left corner of the app

To perform this operation in the Suitest Test editor use the Swipe/Flick line.

Swiping/flicking in test editor

To perform this operation in the Suitest JavaScript API use swipe or flick command in conjunction with chosen subject:

await suitest.element('logoImg').flick('down', 200, 50);
await suitest.position(100, 200).swipe('right', 100, 300);
