How to screenshot a tapped button using iOS UIAutomation?

Question

I tried the tapAndHold() function from UIAElement

var target = UIATarget.localTarget();
target.frontMostApp().mainWindow().buttons()["Button"].tapAndHold()
target.captureScreenWithName("shot")

but this fails with a JavaScript error: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating target.frontMostApp().mainWindow().buttons()["Button"].tapAndHold().

Update:

I also tried

target.frontMostApp().mainWindow().buttons()["Button"].touchAndHold(1.5)
target.captureScreenWithName("shot")

which at least does highlight the button but when the screenshot is made it already is deactivated again. :(

Insert delay(1).

target.frontMostApp().mainWindow().buttons()["Button"].touchAndHold(1.5)
target.delay(1);
target.captureScreenWithName("shot")

Are you running it on iPod? Also it matters on which device you are testing. I suggest using iPhone 3GS,4S to check more variety.

That doesn't work. It does all this sequentially, so the delay comes after holding it for 1.5 seconds. I run it on the simulator. – Ortwin Gentz Oct 12 '12 at 07:57
just for sake of curiosity try target.captureScreenWithName("shot") before touchAndHold – ExploringApple Oct 12 '12 at 11:17
