How to scroll furthest to the right using Selenium and Python

Question

If I want to scroll to the end of a page I use the following:

driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")

What's the equivalent for scrolling all the way to the right? My first guess was:

driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(document.body.scrollWidth, 0);")

However, this didn't work and gave the following error:

JavascriptException}Message: javascript error: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'scrollWidth')

I only want the so-called golf green (the green circle on the right)

Instead of directional scrolling an easier approach would be to identify the desired element inducing WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and invoke scrollIntoView() as follows:

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "element_css")))
driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)

Note : You have to add the following imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Update

To scrollIntoView the golf green (the green circle on the right) you can use the following solution:

driver.get(URL)
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "svg g path[fill='#92f100']")))
driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)
driver.save_screenshot("green_circle_on_the_right.png")

Thanks for the tip. The problem is that the element is huge and already in my viewport. So, running your code doesn't make the driver scroll to the right. – HJA24 Apr 04 '22 at 20:25
IMO, even scrolling and similtaneous screenshot even won't get you the whole picture. You have to adjust shooting strategy. – undetected Selenium Apr 04 '22 at 20:30
Yes, I know, so I only want the so-called golf green (the green circle on the right) – HJA24 Apr 04 '22 at 20:31
