Status: RESOLVED FIXED

I have been working on a Gaia UI test for Everything.Me[1], trying to launch a shortcut-category (essentially a group of <li> elements) by clicking on any such category such as 'Social' (locators are seen in the test).

I'm currently puzzled and or stuck trying to figure out why a click() or tap() is not following through on launching a category of applications (keep http://mxr.mozilla.org/gaia/source/apps/homescreen/everything.me/modules/Shortcuts/Shortcuts.js#295 open as a reference) -- shortcuts[0].click() or self.marionette.tap(shortcuts[0]) in an attempt to launch the Social category (in my test).

In the Gaia application code for the shortcut module, it looks like a `click()` event is bound to the element [1] if `ontouchstart` is not in `window` (how would one verify this?).

I have attached the page-source for what a category in Everything.

I spent a good 30 mins on this yesterday and I couldn't get it to work. I mostly just checked the page state (check it's completely loaded) and clicking on all of the child elements.

The only other thing that occured to me afterwards was to check the position and size of the element we're clicking incase there's something going wrong there.

No luck with gesture tapping either

This works now using tap after the recent changes to events in Gaia.
