I need to scroll the table to get table contents that are dynamically populated using selenium with java bindings and chrome driver. This is another scroll and not the window scroll itself. All the available solutions I could find are for the window scroll. What I need here is to scroll the table. I need to scroll the one highlighted

Please see the second screenshot for the page source Page Source Screenshot

Any help much appreciated.

I tried with the below code but it is not able to locate the element

WebElement scroll = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@class='antiscroll-scrollbar antiscroll-scrollbar-vertical antiscroll-scrollbar-shown']"));

scroll.sendKeys(Keys.PAGE_DOWN);

I am getting the below error message

Error Message: No such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[@class='antiscroll-scrollbar antiscroll-scrollbar-vertical antiscroll-scrollbar-shown']"}

From experience, I suspect the HTML class of the vertical scrollbar changes when it is in use. This means an extra class identifier (something like 'antiscroll-scrollbar-active') is added, so your xpath no longer applies and the element isn't found. Try using Contains instead, which will avoid that issue by using a partial, instead of complete, class match.

e.g.

//*[contains(@class, 'antiscroll-scrollbar antiscroll-scrollbar-vertical')]
