Hover on element is not working

[pppppino]

Environment:
Appium-Python-Client 2.11.1
Windows desktop app,
My Env is Ok, since I have done many automation work

I want to hover on element, I have tried:
ActionChains(self.driver).move_to_element(ele).perform(),
I got an exception:
> raise exception_class(msg=message, stacktrace=format_stacktrace(stacktrace)) E selenium.common.exceptions.UnknownMethodException: Message: Currently only pen and touch pointer input source types are supported E Stacktrace: E UnsupportedOperationError: Currently only pen and touch pointer input source types are supported

then I tried:
TouchAction(self.driver).move_to(ele).perform(), I found it directly click the target instead of hover on it!

then I tried:
ActionChains(self.driver).w3c_actions.pointer_action.move_to(ele), and it do not work

Is there any other method to achieve this?

Maybe you need to use touch input like

python-client/appium/webdriver/extensions/action_helpers.py

Lines 49 to 61 in b142e00

	touch_input = PointerInput(interaction.POINTER_TOUCH, 'touch')
	actions = ActionChains(self)
	actions.w3c_actions = ActionBuilder(self, mouse=touch_input)
	# https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/3c82c868d4f2a7600223a1b3817301d0b04d28e4/py/selenium/webdriver/common/actions/pointer_actions.py#L83
	actions.w3c_actions.pointer_action.move_to(origin_el)
	actions.w3c_actions.pointer_action.pointer_down()
	# setup duration for second move only, assuming duration always has atleast default value
	actions.w3c_actions = ActionBuilder(self, mouse=touch_input, duration=duration)
	actions.w3c_actions.pointer_action.move_to(destination_el)
	actions.w3c_actions.pointer_action.release()
	actions.perform()

for the env. I guess your code sent mouse .

@KazuCocoa I assume touch pointers do not have a "hover" concept. Only mouse does it

@KazuCocoa I have tried it, but it not works
