Message - Unable to play back a gesture ... (Legacy)

Applies to TestComplete 15.73, last modified on March 04, 2025
The information below concerns legacy mobile tests that work with mobile devices connected to the local computer. For new mobile tests, we recommend using the newer cloud-compatible approach.

TestComplete displays this message when you are trying to simulate a multi-touch event (a gesture) on a mobile device that does not support multi-touch events.

Simulating multi-touch events differs from simulating regular user actions on a mobile device's screen. Some devices do not support this kind of events and, therefore, cannot be used for simulation. Typically, these are virtual machines running on a PC or mobile devices running in a mobile device cloud. Due to their nature, they do not support complex events that include several concurrent touches of the screen and several concurrent movements.

To simulate a multi-touch event (a gesture), use a device that supports these events. Typically, this is some physical mobile device. For complete information, see Executing Gestures (Multi-Touch Events) (Legacy).
