Marionette sends synthesized touch event with unique id started from 1000. http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/668f29cd71b3/testing/marionette/marionette-listener.js#l67 However, in TouchCaret::HandleTouchDownEvent(), only touch event with id 0 is recognized as a valid one. http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/668f29cd71b3/layout/base/TouchCaret.cpp#l750 We need to find a way to resolve this in order to enable touch caret sanity tests on B2G.

If that is the case, then it seems that touchids increment AND decrement based on the touchstart and touchend/cancel, which was not taken into account when writing Marionette. In Marionette, we based our code on the touch specification, and the only requirement about touchids were that they had to be unique, so we just enforced uniqueness by just incrementing a very high base value. We can update Marionette if we can confirm this is the case.

AFAIK, the reason they assume touchid 0 is because they do not want a multifinger gesture to trigger zoom in/out while moving the touch caret. You are correct that touchid is unique and it will increment and decrement based on touchstart and touchend. On device, if you put one finger on the screen, the touch event will contain a touch with id 0. Then you put second finger on the screen, the touch event will contain two touches with id 0 and 1. You then leave all your fingers, and put one finger on the screen. The touchid will be 0 again. It will be a great if you could make the touchid of marionette's touch events consistent with the real touch events so that we could utilize marionette on touch caret tests on B2G.

After discussing with colleagues who are familiar with touch caret implementation, we conclude that it is better to modify touch caret code to remove the assumption of touchid 0, and make touch caret recognizes the touchid of the first finger. Therefore, it should be OK that marionette stays as it is.

Hi Malini, I got a "MarionetteException: Element has not been pressed" when executing this line on b2g emulator. self.actions.wait(timeout).flick(el, src_x, src_y, dest_x, dest_y).perform() http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/base/tests/marionette/test_touchcaret.py?from=test_touchcaret.py&case=true#214 Can Action.wait() be called without calling a Action.press()? It seems wait() before press() is blocked by this check. http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/marionette/marionette-listener.js?from=marionette-listener.js#969 If this is by design, should I use Python's time.sleep() instead if I would like to pause the script?

For touch events generated by marionette, the touch id is not started from 0. Therefore, instead of getting the event position of touch id 0 directly in HandleTouchDownEvent(), we should loop over all the touch ids to get their positions.

Thanks, you've found a bug! I've filed Bug 1023968 about it.
