Element Click unable to interact with element in <iframe> that is outside viewport #1141

Open andreastt opened 6 years ago

andreastt commented 6 years ago

The Element Click command is currently unable to interact with (hit) elements inside <iframe>s that are outside the viewport because it does not bring the <iframe> into view first. This is because Element.scrollIntoView on the element inside the frame only moves the viewport of the frame.

This bug was reported on geckodriver, so see https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/1039 for more details.

I suspect we need to find out if the target web element is inside a frame, then first scroll all of its parent frame elements into view recursively.

Any guess when this issue will fix?

Do we need to iteratively move through each viewport, from that closest to the element to the top-level one, attempting to scroll the element into view?

If browsers have implemented the browsing contexts spec there would be a browsing context tree, which could be iteratively moved up via the parent browsing context. I think the relevant part of the spec should be https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsers.html#windows:browsing-context-10

@shs96c and @AutomatedTester do you have any feedback to my last comment? Would that be a plausible operation?
