Selenium: actions.moveToElement in Selenium does not scroll down the page

[rscwcd]

Hi,

After upgrading our project to use latest Selenium Version(3.4.0), gecko driver(Version "geckodriver-v0.16.0-win64") and FF 53.0, found that a feature to scroll down the page is not working. Tried many different techniques but didn't find any way to scroll the page to go through required element. We are using below code to go through this:

public T scroll_to_element(By element) {
WebElement webElement = findElement(element);
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(webElement).perform();
return me();
}

Also, all the classes related to Actions.java is showing deprecated in the above said version of selenium(3.4.0). If those are deprecated, what is the next option we have ?

Please advise.

Workaround on Java:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(locator);
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);

Unfortunately, this feature could not find its way to the W3C WebDriver Specification Level 1 and it's not going to be implemented in geckodriver until Level 2.
