JScrollPane not working with JPanel and JFrame

For my code, I did something like:

Jframe frame = new JFrame();
JPanel panel = new JPanel();

JButton button = new JButton();
// after locating and resizing buttons...
panel.add(button);

// and after many codes about buttons and labels...

frame.add(panel);

JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(panel);
scroll.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
frame.add(scroll);

As far as I know, this should be correct, but I can't scroll. The gray bar inside the scroll bar is missing.

Here is image for better idea of what's happening to my code.

If you read the official tutorial about the scroll panes on https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/scrollpane.html, they note about the policies:

VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS

HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS

Always display the scroll bar. The knob disappears if the viewport is large enough to show the whole client.
