scroll to element only scrolls one screen

when using js.executeScript(“mobile: scroll”, scrollObject) instead of scrolling to element only one scroll is performed. If object is in the bottom and you need to scroll more than once to see it than scroll doesn’t get to the object.

Scrolling to an element is no longer supported in Appium 1.5. mobile: scroll with an element scrolls on that element. That is why it does nothing when called again. Try using mobile: scroll without the element, checking if the element is visible and re-scrolling if not.

element = find_element()
while (element.is_not_visible) {
    scroll down
}
