Unable to get scroll events in ion-scroll

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
5

I managed to get the event working with the following

this.scrollElement.addScrollEventListener((e) => {
      console.log(e);
    })

However the scroll event is a lot more limited than the one on <ion-content> , it doesn’t have as many properties or functions so I had to scrap it ionScroll event doesn’t fire on ion-scroll
