Scroll down on the page during playback

Postby DKeefer » Tue Nov 08, 2016 4:11 pm

Hi there.

I need to be able to scroll down the page in playback mode, but can't figure out the right command.

Whats the commands or techniques involved?

Thanks

Thanks for posting DKeefer.

In this case, the reason you can't find the command to scroll the screen up and down is that there isn't one.

Here is the thinking.

During recording, if you manually scroll down the screen in order to click on something that is below the first screen load, then you'll record having done that on its on DOM index.

At playback time, the click will be issued internally to the browser -- it is done at the DOM level -- and your test will pass.

So, this reasoning led to the elimination of specific commands for web application testing that need to access the desktop.

The, eValid ALSO has "application mode" in which commands can be recorded that DO interact with the desktop image. Here is the manual page for this:

http://www.e-valid.com/Products/Documen ... .mode.html

In this mode eValid will record any keyboard action, including PageUp and PageDown and at playback time will issue the appropriate response.

But, sorry, for reliable testing, we generally recommend to avoid this.
