[FIXED] Protractor: Scroll down

Issue

I have an button on my page that is visible when the user scrolls down. Because of this, protractor tests give me an error:

UnknownError: unknown error: Element is not clickable at point (94, 188).

I tried using:

browser.executeScript('window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight)');

which worked when I tested it in protractors elementexplorer.js but in my regular tests it doesn't do anything. Any other way around this?

Solution

You need to wait for the promise to be solved. The following example comes from an open issue

browser.executeScript('window.scrollTo(0,0);').then(function () {
    page.saveButton.click();
})

Update: This is an old question (May of 2014), but still it is getting some visitors. To clarify: window.scrollTo(0, 0) scrolls to the top left corner of the current page.

If you want to scroll to the bottom of your page you could call

window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)

as mentioned by @jsuser in this answer

A more modern approach would be using

browser.actions().mouseMove(element).perform();
