Page scroll up or down in Selenium WebDriver (Sele

Question

I have written the following code in Selenium 1 (a.k.a Selenium RC) for page scrolling using java:

selenium.getEval("scrollBy(0, 250)");

What is the equivalent code in Selenium 2 (WebDriver)?

Answer 1

For Scroll down:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,250)", "");

OR, you can do as follows:

jse.executeScript("scroll(0, 250);");

For Scroll up:

jse.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,-250)", "");
OR,
jse.executeScript("scroll(0, -250);");

Answer 2

You should add a scroll to the page to select all elements using Selenium.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,450)", "").

If you have a large list, add the scroll several times through the execution. Note the scroll only go to a certain point in the page for example (0,450).

Answer 3

This may not be an exact answer to your question (in terms of WebDriver), but I've found that the java.awt library is more stable than selenium.Keys. So, a page down action using the former will be:

Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_PAGE_DOWN);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_PAGE_DOWN);

Try this

        Actions dragger = new Actions(driver);
        WebElement draggablePartOfScrollbar = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='jobreslist_outercontainer']/div/div[2]/div"));

        // drag downwards
        int numberOfPixelsToDragTheScrollbarDown = 50;
        for (int i=10;i<500;i=i+numberOfPixelsToDragTheScrollbarDown){
            try{
        // this causes a gradual drag of the scroll bar, 10 units at a time
        dragger.moveToElement(draggablePartOfScrollbar).clickAndHold().moveByOffset(0,numberOfPixelsToDragTheScrollbarDown).release().perform();
        Thread.sleep(1000L);
            }catch(Exception e1){}
        } 

        // now drag opposite way (downwards)
        numberOfPixelsToDragTheScrollbarDown = -50;
        for (int i=500;i>10;i=i+numberOfPixelsToDragTheScrollbarDown){
        // this causes a gradual drag of the scroll bar, -10 units at a time
        dragger.moveToElement(draggablePartOfScrollbar).clickAndHold().moveByOffset(0,numberOfPixelsToDragTheScrollbarDown).release().perform();
        Thread.sleep(1000L);
        }

Answer 5

There are many ways to scroll up and down in Selenium Webdriver I always use Java Script to do the same.

Below is the code which always works for me if I want to scroll up or down

 // This  will scroll page 400 pixel vertical
  ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("scroll(0,400)");

You can get full code from here Scroll Page in Selenium

If you want to scroll for a element then below piece of code will work for you.

je.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);",element);

You will get the full doc here Scroll for specific Element

Answer 6

JavascriptExecutor js = ((JavascriptExecutor) driver);

Scroll down:

js.executeScript("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);");

Scroll up:

js.executeScript("window.scrollTo(0, -document.body.scrollHeight);");
