UI Tests: Simulate a shake gesture with Swift

Question

Using UI tests, I'd like the app to respond to shake gestures, and I would like to programmatically trigger a shake gesture in my swift UI tests.

Triggering the shake gesture while recording during a UI test session yields no added code.

Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance!

It looks like you can... Have you tried this: #24434263 ? Specifically the code the question provides and modifying it as suggested by an answer? – Tameratamerlane

I'm completely unfamiliar with Objective C, but I'll try to convert it over and see – Hexapla

I'm not good enough with Objective C to figure out how that converts to swift. I don't even know if the classes are the same. – Hexapla

This isn't possible in Swift; radar 29368021 was filed and feel free to duplicate it. – Blistery

Answer 1

As far as I know, currently you cannot do it directly from XCUITest. So instead, maybe programmatically call it using launch arguments that then call the relevant section of the code to simulate the gesture. Not perfect, but the best way I know of currently (Apr 2019)
