When developing automated tests with Appium, encountering errors can be a common hurdle. One such error that developers face is the java.lang.SecurityException: Injecting to another application requires INJECT_EVENTS permission while using the TouchAction class. This article aims to guide you through resolving this issue effectively.
Understanding the Error
The error typically arises when attempting to perform certain actions, such as touch events, that require special permissions on the device. The error message indicates that the application lacks the necessary permissions to inject events into another application.
Solution
The solution to this problem does not lie in modifying your code but rather adjusting the settings on your Android device. Here’s a step-by-step guide to resolve the issue:
- Open the Settings on your Android device.
- Navigate to Additional Settings.
- Select Developer Options.
- Locate and enable the USB Debugging Security Settings.
Enabling this option allows the Appium driver to perform touch actions by injecting events into the application under test. This setting is crucial for ensuring that your automated tests can interact with the application as intended.
