Hi, Im testing a webpage. It has more elements and needs scroll around the page to choose the elements. So i need to scroll up and down multiple times
Im using scrollToPosition(999999,999999) to scroll to the bottom and scrollToPosition(0,0) to scroll up
This perfectly works fine for the first time
When im using the same script again to scroll down/up, it s not working.
It retains in the middle of the page and it fails.
Please help me out
hi,
not faced any issues
WebUI.openBrowser('')
WebUI.navigateToUrl("https://www.iltalehti.fi/")
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
WebUI.scrollToPosition(999999, 999999)
WebUI.delay(3)
WebUI.scrollToPosition(0, 0)
WebUI.delay(3)
}
WebUI.closeBrowser()Hi Timo,
thanks
But this looping will not work for me. for each scroll, i need to choose different elements.
WebUI.delay(30)
WebUI.scrollToPosition(999456, 999456)
WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Page_Create Form - datahub/a_Single Space’)) ## it will auto scroll up after choosing this element ##
WebUI.waitForElementVisible(findTestObject(‘Page_Create Form - datahub/a_Add new field’), 30)
WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Page_Create Form - datahub/a_Add new field’))
WebUI.delay(30)
WebUI.scrollToPosition(998989, 998989) ## Here its not scrolling down to choose another element ##
WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Page_Create Form - datahub/a_Section Title’))
Can you pls help me out
hello,
why you have to use scroll to locate elements?
Hello Timo,
My product webpage will be like in the attachment
It will have set of 30 elements on left side and user can choose based on the their wish .the selected ones will display on right one by one.
At the first sight, all the 30 elements couldnt be visible. just u can see 25 elements. we need to scroll down to choose the last 5 elements.
Also, after the user choosen nearly 3 elements, we need to scroll up and down to choose all the selected elements
hi,
why selecting element as a locator not do that? should do
WebUI.click(findTestObject(object path))
or first focus element
WebUI.focus(findTestObject(object path))
WebUI.click(findTestObject(object path))
Yea like @Timo_Kuisma said, you shouldnt need to scroll for anything, It may not be visible to the current screen but its still technically present so it will just scroll for you.
Thanks both of you. i will try and let you know the output
Hi,
so Focus() followed by click() will autoscroll the page by finding elements by itself?
as you mentioned, its not visible in current screen but its there technically. How can i make it to be click on those elements?
I tried with above focus() followed by click().
Getting below error:
com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException: Unable to click on object ‘Object Repository/Page_Create Form - datahub/a_addBulk Answers’
empTestCase1559460976239.run(TempTestCase1559460976239.groovy:154)
Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException: element click intercepted: Element … is not clickable at point (108, 690). Other element would receive the click:
Kindly help me out
hi,
which type you are using elements locator, attribute or xpath?
Is this Windows or Linux or Mac OS?
i recorded using katalon web recorder. So it has attributes and xpath
This is web application for windows
For focus, im not getting any error. but click doesnt happen
So this is what is causing the error - “Other element would receive the click:”
