Winappdriver: touchAction.Perform() using simple MoveTo() gives server error expecting element

[trevordunn]

Not sure if I'm calling this correctly or not, but performing a simple MoveTo() doesn't work and results in a server error that expects an Element.

C#

var action = new TouchAction(appSession);
action.MoveTo(100, 100);
action.Perform();

PowerShell output:

Hi @trevordunn we're working on getting support for this API released to you soon. Stay tuned!

[trevordunn]

Ah, didn't notice it wasn't listed here https://github.com/Microsoft/WinAppDriver#currently-supported-apis. Thanks @yodurr!

[yodurr]

I just recorded a video showing it working, so while it's not released yet I can tell you we're definitely getting close now :)

[sandeepdroid]

@yodurr Can you provide a sample of it working with WinAppDriver or the link to the video. Thanks!
