Fling gesture on web always finalizes with success false. Works fine with legacy implementation.

Fling gesture on web always finalizes with success = false. Same code/gesture works fine in iOS & Android.

I'm running expo with "react-native-gesture-handler": "~2.12.0".

The weird thing is it finalizes correctly (success === true) when using enableLegacyWebImplementation().

Is Fling supported on web? Thanks!

Hi! Which version of gesture handler are you using? Fling is supported on web, but we are still trying to figure out how to make it work correctly.

To activate, Fling has to meet minimum threshold. Until 2.14.1 it had to travel 160px (which is basically impossible). Now the minimum distance is set to 32px (PR). Even though it is lower, we still aren't happy with how it works and we do have plans to change that. Our plan is to change Fling so that it will use velocity to determine whether it should activate or not.

Hi! A while ago we've changed Fling implementation, so that now it uses velocity instead of distance as an activation criterion.

I've just checked that the problem you've described no longer occurs. Therefore, I'm closing this discussion. Feel free to re-open it if it was not solved.
