Usage

The VerticalScrollTo extension method

Replaces the ScrollTo method

Tries to put an element in the center of the screen vertically using a javascript call to window.scrollTo. Usage example

// Instanciate an IWebDriver
using (var driver = new ChromeDriver())
{
    // Find an element in the DOM (isn't "dummyElement" a very cute name for an ID ?)
    var dummyElement = _driver.FindElement(By.Id("dummyElement"));
    // Scroll the element to the center of the window (more or less) 
    driver.VerticalScrollTo(dummyElement);
}

The SwitchToTab extension method

Changes the focus of the IWebDriver to target the tab/window, finding it by its id. The return value indicates if the tab could be found. When it is false no tab change occured.

// Instanciate an IWebDriver
using (var driver = new ChromeDriver())
{
    // Focus to the 2nd tab
    bool isSwitchSuccess = driver.SwitchToTab(1);
}

The WaitUntilCurrentUrlChange extension method

Periodically checks if the browser URL has changed. If no changes occured before the specified timeout occurs, a TimeoutException will be thrown.

// Instanciate an IWebDriver
using (var driver = new ChromeDriver())
{
    // Will wait untill the URL changes using the default timeout (10s) and poll (.5s) time
    driver.WaitUntilCurrentUrlChange();
}

The WaitUntilUrlIs extension method

Periodically checks if the browser URL is identical to the passed string. If the URL does not match before the specified timeout occurs, a TimeoutException will be thrown.

// Instanciate an IWebDriver
using (var driver = new ChromeDriver())
{
    // Will wait untill the URL becomes https://request.url using the default timeout (10s) and poll (.5s) time
    driver.WaitUntilUrlIs("https://request.url");
}

The WaitUntilUrlContains extension method

Periodically checks if the browser URL contains the passed string. If the URL does not match before the specified timeout occurs, a TimeoutException will be thrown.

// Instanciate an IWebDriver
using (var driver = new ChromeDriver())
{
    // Will wait untill the URL becomes https://request.url using the default timeout (10s) and poll (.5s) time
    driver.WaitUntilUrlContains("/part/of/url?wololo=pouët");
}

Legacy code

The ScrollTo was made obsolete. Use VerticalScrollTo instead.
