Selendroid gestures keyword

[AndreaPerez]

Hello,
I thank you again very much for your work and your implication in this library.
And your reactivity also, which I must say is quite amzaing :)

I have another request for a future release.
I can start the Appium session in Selendroid mode with the library; using the argument "automation name = selendroid" within the Open Application keyword.

However, when in Selendroid mode, the mobile gestures keywords are no longer recognized since it is the selendroid server that does the work.

My request is the following : could it be possible to implement the keyword "Flick" that would match the selendroid keyword ?
It is defined in the appium python client in the following file :
appium/webdriver/webdriver.py

Thank you again for you time and efforts,
Andréa

Do you try that on https://github.com/appium/python-client ? I don't have test Selendroid mode.

Hello,
thank you for your answer. Sorry i didn't answer myself earlier,
I actually was trying the Appium Python Client. I am not getting it working for the moment.

I don't understand why you say Appium Library doesn't have test Selendroid mode since in the "Open Application " keyword it is posisble to set "automation name" to Selendroid ?

Thank you for your time,
Andréa

Hey @AndreaPerez ,
What I mean is I don't setup environment and test robotframework-appiumlibrary in Selendroid mode, but appium is support that, You can try it in Appium Python Client , If Appium Python Client works?I will check robotframework-appiumlibrary; if it dosen't ?Please file a issue to appium or Appium Python Client

Hello again,
and once again so sorry for the delay.

the problem with the Appium Python Client is that I would have to import all the files in Robot Framework as libraries from the opening of the application and then execute the functions.

however, when writing a test script directly in Python it works.

thank you again for your answer.
