Hi Yudi,

Thanks for providing the log file and screenshots - they are very helpful. I think the issue is that the `Scroll.scrollListToElementWithText` function is made to scroll a list of similar elements, like a bunch of elements in a drop-down list. In your case, it looks like you want to scroll the entire screen until you find a certain element.

The `katalon-mobile-util` library doesn’t have anything for that (yet), but there should be ways to do it using the regular Katalon functions:

Documentation on the `Mobile.swipe` function:

A forum post on how to get swiping to work:

> Hi there! This solution helped me to solve issue with vertical scroll. Maybe, it will be helpful for somebody import io.appium.java\_client.TouchAction import com.kms.katalon.core.mobile.keyword.internal.MobileDriverFactory as MobileDriverFactory import io.appium.java\_client.AppiumDriver as AppiumDriver AppiumDriver\<?\> driver = MobileDriverFactory.getDriver() while ( Mobile.waitForElementPresent(categoryText, 2, FailureHandling.STOP\_ON\_FAILURE) == false){ //Mobile.swipe(300, 1430, 300, 1200) //…

Hope this helps,

Chris
