Not able to scroll down in Chromedriver by selenium webdriver(Java)

I'm trying to test scrolling functionality by selenium webdriver. Same is working in Firefox but not in chrome driver. Here is basic code I'm using for scrolling.

Actions a = new Actions(driver);
WebElement el = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='dsm-frame']"));
a.moveToElement(el).clickAndHold().moveByOffset(0, 1000000).release().perform();

Is there any specific reason that Action builder does not work in chrome? Kindly advise how it can be worked in Chrome driver.

Thanks

This is what worked for me.

Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.sendKeys(Keys.PAGE_DOWN).perform();

If you are trying to click the element after scrolling then try below snippet.

Actions action = new Actions(driver);

action.moveToElement(element).click().perform();

I am not a specialist at all of java but I use chromedriver from vba and face the same problem. As I am not able to locate the webelements by XPATH / JSON, I use the source code of the page instead, senkeys tab until the webelement I search get the focus then this element becomes the activeelement so the scrollintoview on the element is accessible and I can refresh the source code of the page...

For Scroll down:

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,250)", "");

OR,also

jse.executeScript("scroll(0, 250);");

For Scroll up:

jse.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,-250)", "");

OR,

jse.executeScript("scroll(0, -250);");

Hope it will help you

I had a similar problem in Selenium (wrapped in Selenide):

This worked for me to scroll to a link that was off the bottom of the page:

if (isPhantomjs()){
    $(byText(linkType)).scrollTo().click();
} else {
    executeJavaScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", $(byText(linkType)));
    $(byText(linkType)).click();
}

Javascript Executer version (scrolls to bottom - best for my needs):

JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);");

Webdrvier only version:

driver.findElement(By.id("INSERT_A_INPUT_BOX")).sendKeys(Keys.PAGE_DOWN);

This version only scrolls down one page. At first it wouldn't work for me because I was trying to focus on a random element not an input element, but it does work when focusing on something you can type into

So far below are my findings based on options I tired:

1.Action builder class : Works in Firefox but not in Chrome.Not sure why it did not work in Chrome.

2.js.executeScript("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);");: It neither worked in Firefox and Chrome. I guess this is something not suitable in my case.

3.js.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);",element); : It worked in both Firefox and Chrome.

You can use JavaScriptExecutor for scrolling.

Scroll Down

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scr‌​ollHeight);");

Scroll Up

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.scrollTo(0,0);");
