Hi! I’m getting this when I try to run this test case, which is strange, because I have copied it straight from https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/handle_multi_touch_action.html#script-mode. It is running against an Android Studio Emulator:
06-09-2020 04:59:55 PM Test Cases/Needs Work/Multitouch Tester Tutorial Thing

Elapsed time: 36.252s

Test Cases/Needs Work/Multitouch Tester Tutorial Thing FAILED.

Reason:

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: io.appium.java_client.TouchAction.press() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Integer) values: [307, 390]

Possible solutions: press(io.appium.java_client.touch.offset.PointOption), grep(), every(), perform(), print(java.lang.Object), grep(java.lang.Object)

Any idea what’s wrong?

Thanks,

TouchAction.press(X, Y) is obsolated in appium-javaclient.7.0.0

Please change to:

import io.appium.java_client.touch.offset.PointOption

action.press(PointOption.point(X1, Y1)).waitAction(5000).release()

References: TouchAction - java-client 7.0.0 javadoc

Btw, we will update our document later. Thanks for your report.

Thanks @duyluong! @Igor_Makarchuk also helped troubleshoot, building upon your suggestion, and this ended up working (thanks Igor!):

...
import io.appium.java_client.TouchAction as TouchAction
import io.appium.java_client.touch.WaitOptions
import io.appium.java_client.touch.offset.PointOption
...
action1.press(PointOption.point(X1, Y1)).waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofMillis(5000))).release()
...
