Simulate Touch Events in browser or mobile?

pyros2097

Is there any way in enyo to trigger touch events like touch up, touch down, scrollby? I need to run some mocha tests for the app in the browser and it requires touch features like swipes, etc. Or is it possible to do it in selenium?

If you're using Chrome, you might be able to utilize the emulation features by launching Developer Tools, going to the Emulation tab, and selecting a Device that emits touch events. Will this work for your purposes? If not, you can always create them manually in pure JS: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18059954/1569595.

Well the chrome touch events doesn't work as expected. I was thinking is it possible for me to trigger a tap/click on a button by using
enyo.bubble('tap', ...) or within a component ?

Yep, you can bubble the event for the control which you want to simulate an event, i.e.
this.$.myButton.bubble('ontap' <, event, sender>) (make sure to include the "on" prefix for event names). The event will be dispatched to the control and bubble upwards from there, assuming a handler along the way hasn't returned true to signify the event has been handled.

Thanks a lot.. now i can simulate swipe events by bubbling ondragstart, ondrag, ondragfinish events. It works great with mocha and selenium with wd test cases.
