Scroll table and store data in the list using Selenium web driver

Question

I'm working on a project where wanted to 1. Scroll the web page. 2. links are stored in the table 3. Click on the link present in the row

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)");
List<WebElement> req = driver
              .findElements(By.xpath("//table[@class='forceRecordLayout uiVirtualDataGrid--default uiVirtualDataGrid forceVirtualGrid resizable-cols']//tr"));

int total_req = req.size();
System.out.println(total_req);

for (int i = 0; i < total_req; i++) {
  String reqToClick = req.get(i).getText();
  if (reqToClick.equalsIgnoreCase("UPC_ 762016_Product Test- 06-07-2016 0")) {
      Thread.sleep(3000);
      req.get(i).click();
      Thread.sleep(3000);
      break;
  }
}

Above is the code where I'm storing data into the list, but the page is not scrolling down. List says showing count without scroll. Please help me out.

I wanted to scroll the page down. As page scrolled down,I wanted to store the values in the list and from the list I wanted click on the link inside table. — user3168935, Jun 17 '16 at 12:07
What happens when you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page? Does the entire table load or does the page unload the previous elements? I don't suppose you can link us to an example of this? — JeffC, Jun 29 '16 at 19:29

This seem to work for me:

            WebElement table = wait.until(presenceOfElementLocated(By.tagName("tbody")));
        int len = table.findElements(By.tagName("tr")).size();
        for (int index = 0; index < len; index++) {
            WebElement tr = table.findElements(By.tagName("tr")).get(index);
            //save information in row
            if (index == len - 1) {
                JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
                jse.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,250)");
                len = table.findElements(By.tagName("tr")).size();

            }

        }

the length of the loop changes when you scroll down so it gets all the rows in the table

This will not scroll down the page but take all the links in the web table into the list and click on the link which you need.

The first line of OP's code scrolls down to the bottom of the page. – JeffC Jun 30 '16 at 01:49

public void ClickLink(string link)
{
    //scroll to table.

    Actions action = new Actions(driver);
    action.MoveToElement(driver.FindElement(By.Id("tableID"));

    //get elements in list
    List<WebElement> req = driver.findElements(By
        .xpath("//table[@class='forceRecordLayout uiVirtualDataGrid--defaultuiVirtualDataGrid forceVirtualGrid resizable-cols']//tr"));

    List<string> linkNamesList = new List<string>();

    //Click the required link.
    foreach(IWebElement element in req)
    {
      string linkName = element.text;
      if(linkName == link)
      {
        element.click();
        break;
      }
   }
}

This should work.

Thanks,
