Thanks so much! It worked like a charm.
The docs are a little confusing, so I'll post my code here to help someone with the same problem:
ionic.trigger('doubletap', { target: this.element.find('ion-item').get(0) });
Because I'm using jquery in my specs, I had to use get(0)
to retrieve the DOM element itself, as passing the jQuery object directly didn't work for me.
Thanks again for the help.
