Selenium WebDriver struggles with JavaScript-based infinite scrolling in a React app on Chrome 118
I'm not sure how to approach I'm optimizing some code but I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm trying to automate a test for a React application that uses infinite scrolling to load additional content... The scenario arises when I attempt to scroll down to load more items in the list. My current setup uses Selenium WebDriver with Chrome 118, and I keep running into the scenario where the new items are not being loaded even after scrolling down. It seems like the page does not recognize the scroll event properly when triggered through WebDriver. I've tried using both the `Actions` class to simulate scrolling and directly executing JavaScript to scroll down: ```java // Using Actions class Actions actions = new Actions(driver); actions.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".scrollable-list"))).sendKeys(Keys.PAGE_DOWN).perform(); // Using JavaScript JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver; js.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0, 1000)"); ``` However, after executing either of these, the new items don’t appear, and I get exploring with just the initially loaded content. I’ve also added waits to ensure that the JavaScript has time to execute and for the new content to load: ```java new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)).until( ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector(".new-item-class")) ); ``` Yet, it seems the WebDriver doesn't trigger the loading of new content. When I run a manual test, scrolling works perfectly fine. The console doesn't throw any errors, but the loading spinner never disappears, indicating that the new items are never fetched. Is there a specific way to handle infinite scrolling with WebDriver in a React application, or could there be an scenario with how the JavaScript is handling the scroll events? Any insights or specific solutions would be greatly appreciated! This is part of a larger application I'm building. What's the best practice here? Could someone point me to the right documentation? This is my first time working with Java stable. Am I missing something obvious?
