Examples

Import

CommonJS

If you are using WebdriverIO v7 and lower with CommonJS you have to use require to import the package, e.g.:

// import all methods
const EC = require('wdio-wait-for');

browser.waitUntil(EC.alertIsPresent(), { timeout: 5000, timeoutMsg: 'Failed, after waiting for the alert to be present' })

// import specific method
const { alertIsPresent } = require('wdio-wait-for');

browser.waitUntil(alertIsPresent(), { timeout: 5000, timeoutMsg: 'Failed, after waiting for the alert to be present' })

ESM

With TypeScript or WebdriverIO v8 and upwards you can use the import statement to import either all helper methods, e.g.:

// import all methods
import * as EC from 'wdio-wait-for';

browser.waitUntil(EC.elementToBeEnabled('input'), { timeout: 5000, timeoutMsg: 'Failed, after waiting for the element to be enabled' })

or just specific ones, e.g.:

// import specific method
import { elementToBeEnabled } from 'wdio-wait-for';

browser.waitUntil(elementToBeEnabled('input'), { timeout: 5000, timeoutMsg: 'Failed, after waiting for the element to be enabled' })

Wait for alert

This code code snippet shows how to use conditions

browser.waitUntil(alertIsPresent(), { timeout: 5000, timeoutMsg: 'Failed, after waiting for the alert to be present' })

Wait for Elements

This code code snippet shows how to use conditions to wait e.g. on a certain number of elements to exist:

browser.waitUntil(numberOfElementsToBe('.links', 2), { timeout: 5000, timeoutMsg: 'Failed, after waiting for the 2 elements' })
