How to use Watir ChromeDriver on an element outside of browser viewport?

I'm running into the following error with Watir using Chrome Driver;

WARN: Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError: unknown error: Element is not clickable at point (762, 711)

I know the element is on the page, but it seems the element is just below the bottom of ChromeDriver viewport and needs to be scrolled to to be visible, in the size viewport that I see on my screen at least.

This is a related SO question, though I can't find a Ruby soution, can anyone advise. Thanks

Solution

  • Make sure you're using the latest chromedriver (2.33). There was a change in how scrolling worked with Chrome 61 and I think the fix was first available in chromedriver 2.32.
