element(id).swipe('up', 'fast', 0.6) doesn't await scroll end

[losikov]

Did you test using the latest Detox?

• I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

Did your test fail and you're not sure why?

• I have read the troubleshooting guide and it didn't help me.

What happened?

Description

When performing a swipe gesture on a view containing a native Fabric TableViewController component, Detox's swipe() method doesn't wait for the scroll animation to complete before continuing execution.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a view with testID=bookReaderScreen containing a native Fabric TableViewController component
2. Perform a swipe gesture using Detox:

   await element(by.id(`bookReaderScreen`)).swipe(direction, speed, percentage)

3. Observe that the method returns immediately without waiting for scroll completion

Actual Behavior

The method returns not immediately, but not waiting for scroll to end:

14:59:18.714 detox[85681] i user -------- start swipe --------
  origin: at e2e/tests/reader-position-scroll.test.ts:34:15
14:59:20.297 detox[85681] i user -------- end swipe --------
  origin: at e2e/tests/reader-position-scroll.test.ts:36:15

The actual swipe animation continues for much longer than the ~1.6 seconds shown in the logs.

What was the expected behaviour?

The swipe() method should wait until the scroll animation/gesture is fully complete before resolving the promise.

It worked on react-native: "0.75.4", detox: "20.32.0", old arch.
