Syntax
.scrollIntoView() .scrollIntoView(options)
Usage
Correct Usage
cy.get('footer').scrollIntoView() // Scrolls 'footer' into view

log | true | Displays the command in the Command log |
offset | {top: 0, left: 0} | Amount to scroll after the element has been scrolled into view |

Examples

cy.get('footer').scrollIntoView({ duration: 2000 })
Scroll 150px below an element
cy.get('#nav').scrollIntoView({ offset: { top: 150, left: 0 } })
Notes
Snapshots
Snapshots do not reflect scroll behavior
Cypress does not reflect the accurate scroll positions of any elements within snapshots. If you want to see the actual scrolling behavior in action, we recommend using .pause() to walk through each command or watching the video of the test run.
Rules
Requirements
.scrollIntoView()requires being chained off a command that yields DOM element(s).
