scroll down until image is seen on screen

Asked by Marc Summers

There is a specific image that I need to find
but the distance to scroll to it changes every two weeks.
But the horizontal spacing is the same, at 7 wheel downs.
So what I want to do is have findAll look for the image
and if it does not find anything then scroll down
7 more. Keep doing this scroll down 7 until it
finds the image.
So what am I doing wrong here ?

while(1):
    try:
        icons = findAll("1523914836809.png")
        if exists(icons):
            break
        else:
            wheel(Location(661, 465),WHEEL_DOWN,7)
    except Exception:
        pass

They said it could not be done,
this is how it is done:

found = 0
while(found == 0):
    try:
        for i in findAll("1524078692187.png"):
            hover(i)
            if find("1524078692187.png"):
                found = 1
                break
    except FindFailed:
        wheel(Location(600, 450),WHEEL_DOWN,7)

not sure, who told you "it could not be done"

Your solution is a bit overkill and if the image is not found, it will loop forever.

this works in all cases and is fast.

max = 10 # how often to scroll max
while max > 0:
    if not exists("1524078692187.png", 0):
        wheel(WHEEL_DOWN,7)
        max -= 1
    else:
        max = -1 # to show it is there
        break
if max > -1:
    print "image not on page"
    exit(1)
# image was found, we can proceed
found = getLastMatch() # here is the image
