Scrolling down in Protractor

Question

There is a button on my page which becomes visible when the user scrolls down. As a result, protractor tests give me an error:

UnknownError: unknown error: Element is not clickable at point (94, 188).

I tried this code:

browser.executeScript('window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight)');

This actually worked in my protractor tests elementexplorer.js. But doesn't work in my regular tests. Any other way around this?

You need to wait for the scrolling to complete before any click works. Try this: 

browser.executeScript('window.scrollTo(0,0);').then(function () {
    page.saveButton.click();
})

Or this could also be another way of getting it done.

browser.actions().mouseMove(element).perform();
