Unable to Scroll Down using Selenium Webdriver

Question

I want to scroll down using selenium webdriver but I am unable to scroll down.

I have tried javascript executor but it did not work for me.

I have tried below code to scroll down but no success:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait (driver, 15);
      wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("/html/body/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div[2]/a/img")));

      WebElement element1 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div[2]/a/img"));
      Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
      Action seriesOfActions = builder.moveToElement(element1).click().sendKeys(Keys.PAGE_DOWN).build();
      seriesOfActions.perform();

I need to scroll down to the image mentioned in the above code. But it is not working. Tried all possible ways but no use.

The xpath locator you provided seems pretty brittle. Please, share your HTML and the error you are getting. — Mate Mrše

What is the code that clicks the image and then pages down supposed to be doing? Typically people use JS for this... post the JS code attempt that you tried and any error messages. — JeffC

Try using moveToElement action on tag "a". Selenium as per my knowledge does not work efficiently with tags like img, svg etc

Thanks "Arslan" for giving pin pointed solution in very less time !!! Using link text solved my problem !!! Now i can scroll down using selenium webdriver java. Below is my updated working code. Actions actions = new Actions(driver); WebElement element1 = driver.findElement(By.linkText("View More...")); Action seriesOfActions = actions.moveToElement(element1).sendKeys(Keys.PAGE_DOWN).build(); seriesOfActions.perform();
