Validate Scrolling Reaches the Bottom of a Page

Validate Scrolling Reaches the Bottom of a Page

Use this pattern when a Scenario Editor test must confirm that the browser reached the bottom of a page, list, or scrollable container. This is common for lazy-loaded content, terms pages, infinite scroll, or long result lists.

Recommended checks

• Validate a stable element that appears only near the bottom.
• Check that lazy-loaded content has finished loading before continuing.
• Use a container-specific check if the page has multiple scrollable areas.
• Avoid assuming that one scroll action always reaches the bottom on every viewport.

Validation workflow

1. Scroll toward the target area.
2. Wait for the expected bottom marker, footer, or final item.
3. Assert that the expected element or content is visible.
4. Capture output if the page continues loading or the target never appears.
