Watir-scroll gives an error when scrolling to element

Just got an unknown error when I try to scroll.to a specific element. For example with:

@browser.scroll.to page_element_xy
#=> "Don't know how to scroll to: #< Watir::Div:0x... >! (ArgumentError)"

The normal scroll.to :top / :bottom is still working somehow.

Is just the DIV the problem or has the scroll.to function changed in general?

On search, I found the following that worked for me:

page_element_xy.scroll.to :center

Would be nice to know what is recommended for now.

As of Watir-Scroll v0.2, the browser-level scrolling no longer supports scrolling to an element.

The equivalent of:

@browser.scroll.to page_element_xy

Is now:

page_element_xy.scroll.to :top

Scrolling to the top of the element is the default, so you can simply do:

page_element_xy.scroll.to
