Unresolved library: AppiumLibrary

Question

When generating libspec, I am getting this error:

Importing library 'AppiumLibrary' failed: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'appium.webdriver.common.touch_action' Consider adding the needed paths to the "robot.pythonpath" setting and calling the "Robot Framework: Clear caches and restart" action.robotframework

I have tried a number of solutions with my information such as:

• Appium version: 2.0.1
• Python version: 3.9.6
• Robotframework version: 7.0
• robotframework-appiumlibrary version: 2.0.0

Answer 1

This is a bug in AppiumLibrary and how it handles its dependencies. It pulls in python appium bindings that have stuff deprecated that AppiumLibrary still expects to be present.

Fix:

pip install --force-reinstall "Appium-Python-Client<4.0.0"

I've filed an issue and pull request to fix it:
