[corevo]

I'm unable to signup for browserstack, I'm getting 404 when I click the confirmation mail.
Anyway I tested against a remove WebDriver server and confirmed working, I'll published another beta today, let me know if that one fixes it.

[corevo]

Let me know if beta 7 works for you.

[tlfbrito]

@corevo Thanks, it seems that the beta 7 fixed the problem.
I just notice one thing, that is if the element doesn't exist Browserstack will keep trying to find the element instead of giving an assert error.

The test terminates after a while with a session timeout.
Regarding the main problem, I think the problem is fixed and you can close the issue.

[corevo]

The screenshot is interesting, unsure if it's a problem with the test, the runner or browserstack, I'll need more information.
Perhaps it's dying on driver.wait?

[tlfbrito]

After a while the tests breaks with:

/Default Suite.test.js
/Users/brito/Sites/selenium-browserstack-demo/node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/promise.js:2626
        throw error;

I see, I need to tone down the implicit wait times, it reaches timeouts.
