Scroll element into view in Galen

[te...@allrecipes.com]

I need to scroll a page to reveal an element that is only present after scrolling. Any method that scrolls the page would work. 

I know Javascript and Selenium can do this but I haven't been able to figure out the syntax in a Galen Test Suite. Perhaps I need to import a library?

Does anybody have a solution that works with Galen?

you could inject javascript to scroll and then do your test

Thank you for your response. I did figure that Javascript or Selenium would be required, but I can't find a syntax that works.

I'm looking for a code example that works with Galen. I'm pretty new to Galen and I don't know which objects and methods are visible within the Test Suite.

Is there an API guide?

I use jquery in Galen, try this?

[te...@allrecipes.com]

That should work, but I get an error on "$"

ReferenceError: "$" is not defined

My site is using jQuery. Is there something else required to access jQuery?

I have a simple test suite that loads the page and calls the script.

Even the simplest script chokes on the $

$( "div.footer" ).scrollTop( 300 );

Do you "run" the script or actually "inject" it? There is a huge difference in these two actions in a standard test suite. The first one allows you to have a control over the WebDriver. And the "inject" is actually the one you need as it will inject your script on the client side http://galenframework.com/docs/reference-galen-test-suite-syntax/#PageActionsJavaScriptInjection

Thank you for that clarification. I wasn't familiar with inject versus run.

My final code is: 

   $("body").scrollTop($("div.footer").offset().top - $("body").offset().top + $("body").scrollTop());

This works when I inject instead of running.

I verified that this code in Chrome Developer Tools console.

When I tried the same code in Firebug console, that line didn't work so, I wasn't surprised when it didn't work in Firefox under Galen.

Seems like a Firefox issue, not a Galen issue.

Thanks all!
