Mobile.scrolltotext sometimes work and not work

[GeneralChingChicken]

mobile.scrolltoText will work and sometimes not work.
Whenever I run my test I see it on the log viewer when it runs…but when I try running again…it will not run and skip it. which will fail the test. When I look at the log I don’t see anything in the log.

I am also facing the same problem.

Mobile.scrollToText most of the time does not work…The screen does not scroll at all but the log marks it passed.

Katalon version: 6.1.2

Hi, @duyluong , thanks for the concern.

In my case, I have a long side navigation overlay, so the scenario is that after I click on a button to show the side nav, I want to scroll down to find a text view and click on it.

Also, Mobile.scrollToText atually works on regular pages but fails to do its things on a long side nav overlay. Even though screen not scroll, log always says passed.

Hi @757255712,

Could you show your script and the execution logs in Log Viewer and Console?

After reviewing the scrollToText doc

Description

Scroll to an element which contains the given text.

I actually found the reason that caused the issue It is because that I was trying to scroll to the exact text ‘account’, but in the current page, it already had a text(user account) that contained ‘account’, so it appeared to not scroll at all, but for the scrollToText function, it actually did its job, so katalon marked it as passed…

So now the question is: how do I scroll to an exact text?

For anyone else having the same problem. When working on a website with automatic scrolling I had to add a delay to wait for the Javascrip scrolling to finish before using the ScrollToElement-Keyword also the smae problem goes for clicking on an element by the way.
