mobile scroll command is not working in appium 1.5 for iOS application

Problem:-

I was using the following code to scroll to an element which is not visible.

WebElement element = driver.findElementByName("text");


JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

HashMap scrollObjects = new HashMap();
scrollObjects.put("element", ((RemoteWebElement) element).getId());
js.executeScript("mobile: scrollTo", scrollObjects);

I am getting below error when I use above method for scrolling:-

Unknown command, all the mobile commands except scroll have been removed.

Solution:-

WebElement element = driver.findElementByName("text");

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

HashMap scrollObjects = new HashMap();
scrollObjects.put("element", ((RemoteWebElement) element).getId());
scrollObjects.put("direction", "down");
driver.executeScript("mobile: scroll", scrollObjects );

Workaround or solution for deprecated scroll and scrollTo methods in Appium

In java-client v4.0.0 - https://github.com/appium/java-client/releases/tag/4.0.0

scrollTo() and scrollToExact() became deprecated. They are going to be removed in the next release.

So I have found solution for scroll method in Android. Following is the working solution:-


Method to scroll:-

HashMap scroll = getScrollStartandEndElements(driver);

By by = By.xpath("//android.widget.TextView[@text="test"]");
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    driver.swipe(0, scroll.get("start"), 0, scroll.get("end"), 1000);
    if (isElementPresent(driver, by).size() > 0) {
        waitElementToBeClickableByLocator(driver, by).click();
        elementFoundAndClick = true;
        break;
    }
}

Method to get x,y co-ordinates:-

public static HashMap getScrollStartandEndElements(AppiumDriver driver) {
    Dimension dimensions = driver.manage().window().getSize();
    Double screenHeightStart = dimensions.getHeight() * 0.5;
    HashMap scrollHash = new HashMap<>();
    Integer scrollStart = screenHeightStart.intValue();
    scrollHash.put("start", scrollStart);
    Double screenHeightEnd = dimensions.getHeight() * 0.2;
    Integer scrollEnd = screenHeightEnd.intValue();
    scrollHash.put("end", scrollEnd);

    return scrollHash;

}

Method for element to wait:-

public static WebElement waitElementToBeClickableByLocator(
        WebDriver driver, By by) {
    WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TEN_SECONDS);

    return wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(by));
}

Method for check element is present:-

public static boolean isElementPresent(AppiumDriver driver, By by) {
    boolean size = driver.findElements(by).size() > 0;
    return size;
}
