Webdriver Sampler : How can we scroll through application up and down using scripting

[Akshay Pachkhede]

Hi

I want to understand the way if we can scroll the application up and down using webdriver sampler commands.
For Example :
1.User is on Youtube home Page.
2.User wants to scroll down to view another video's.

Is it possible to do so using Webdriver Sampler??

Thanks

You can use WDS.browser.executeScript() function which is a shorthand to JavascriptExecutor.executeScript() virtual method. 

The following code should help:

WDS.browser.get('http://youtube.com')
WDS.browser.executeScript('window.scrollTo(0, 250);')

You may also wish to maximize browser window

WDS.browser.manage().window().maximize()

JavaScript Window object scrollTo() method takes 2 arguments: first is X axis (horizontal) position, second one is Y axis (vertical) position so window.scrollTo(0, 250) line will scroll 250 pixels down.

//Element to find during the scroll

var element = WDS.browser.findElement(org.openqa.selenium.By.xpath("//span[@class='mat-button-wrapper'][text()='Login']"));

 // Scroll until that element is not appeared on page. 

WDS.browser.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);",element);

Web driver sampler. 

What are the best practices? 

Can we match the web driver sampler results with the browser load times ? 

What can we measure / cannot using web sampler? 

What is the best approach for scripting  - directly in Jmeter Web sampler or script using IDE and import to Jmeter ? 

Thank you.
