Selenium: Automate Vertical Scrolling in Java

Question

I need to automate scrolling down using the scroll bar. This is what the scroll bar looks like. This is the html code of the scroll bar:

<div class="z-biglistbox-wscroll-vertical">
    <div class="z-biglistbox-wscroll-drag" style="top: 132.253px;">
        <div class="z-biglistbox-wscroll-home" title="Home"></div>
        <div class="z-biglistbox-wscroll-up" title="Previous"></div>
        <div class="z-biglistbox-wscroll-down" title="Next"></div>
        <div class="z-biglistbox-wscroll-end" title="End"></div>
    </div>
</div>

I think of maybe clicking the "Next" button of the scroll bar but my code's not working. I did something like the following:

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", scroll_down);

.

WebElement scroll_down = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".z-biglistbox-wscroll-down"));
scroll_down.click();

Neither of the two worked. Can anyone give me an idea how to do it?

UPDATE: This problem was already solved. Refer to alecxe's answer in this link for the solution that worked for me.

You can use javascriptexecutor directly for scrolling. Below code might give you some idea.

Case 1: To scroll upto a certain element so that the expected element will be visible

JavascriptExecutor je = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

//Identify the WebElement which will appear after scrolling down
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='mCSB_3_container']/p[3]"));

// now execute query which actually will scroll until that element is not appeared on page.
je.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);",element);

Case 2: To scroll upto a certain element

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("scroll(0,400)");

Hope this helps you. Thanks.

Thank you but this didn't work for me. The problem is fixed tho, refer to the update on the question. — Andrea, Jul 07 '17 at 03:04

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.className("z-biglistbox-wscroll-down"));
element.click();

You can use this but it will click only once in the scroll down element.

It's not working. It's not clicking the down arrow even once. – Andrea Jul 06 '17 at 05:59

Try below code for scrolling your window to bottom :

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;

JavascriptExecutor jsx = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
jsx.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,500)", "");
