Conversion to onPointerDown

[ZakTax]

Current behavior:

We are converting our app to React 16.4 which introduced Pointer Events API. However, items that we convert from onClick/onMouseDown-> onPointerDown break our Cypress tests. Everything works normally on our dev environment, and we have a PointerEvents polyfill as well (cypress' Chrome version supports the API natively).

Duplicating our onPointerDown={someAction} to onPointerDown={someAction} onMouseDown={someAction} fixes the tests but adds duplication.

Desired behavior:

Cypress should be able to handle onPointerDown events without code duplication

Versions

Cypress 3.0.1

Pointer events documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Pointer_events

Should be triggered on commands like:

• .click()
• .dblclick()
• .check()
• .uncheck()
• .select()

You may be able to use .trigger() to trigger the pointerdown events in the meantime.

@ZakTax Hi, we're planning on firing pointer events with cy.click as a part of Native Events #2956

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#3030, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.
