Firefox scroll false positive

[M T]

Hi

First of all let me just thank the Geb team. Great tool.

I am having an issue with scrolling with Firefox. I know geb should always scroll into view the elements that i want to interact with.

The same test with Chrome is passing.

I tried interact{moveToElement($"element"), same behaviour.

The wierdest part is that I'm not getting a "could not scroll into view" error. The test will fail only on the next step, as if it's interacting with the element correctly, but there is no interaction.

I am not able to share the stack trace because I am using it for my job.

The setup I'm using is stright out of the documentation:

gebVersion = '3.4'
chromeDriverVersion = '79.0.3945.36'
geckoDriverVersion = '0.26.0'
seleniumVersion = '3.14.0'

Any suggestion with this is very much appreciated. Keep up the good work!

Hi M T, 
I personally have had trouble myself making the `moveToElement()` work.
I am using mostly Chrome for some time now.
I have made good experience using these helper functions:

    void scrollIntoCenterOfScreen(Navigator navigator) {
        def yPosition = navigator.y
        def windowHeight = browser.js.'window.innerHeight'
        browser.js."window.scrollTo(0, ${yPosition - windowHeight / 2})"
    }

    void scrollToBottomOfScreen() {
        def yPosition = browser.js.'document.body.scrollHeight'
        browser.js."window.scrollTo(0, ${yPosition})"
    }

I feel that for simple cases, using JavaScript like this has a good chance of working, regardless of the frontend technology.

Best regards, 
Thomas

Hello Thomas.

Thank you for the reply.

That works! Thank you! 

Just a sidenote for anyone wandering here:

What I am actually testing is inside iframes. The js doen't execute inside them. So just be sure to scroll BEFORE you switch to the iframes.

Thomas, you Tha Man!
