call

You can use call to execute any async action within your test spec. The command itself is treated like a synchronous function. It accepts promises and stops the execution until the promise has resolved.

Usage

browser.call(callback)

Parameters

Name	Type	Details
callback	Function	function to be called

Example

it('some testing here', () => {
    browser.url('http://google.com')
    // make an asynchronous call using any 3rd party library supporting promises
    // e.g. call to backend or db to inject fixture data
    browser.call(() => {
        return somePromiseLibrary.someMethod().then(() => {
            // ...
        })
    })
    // example for async call to 3rd party library that doesn't support promises
    browser.call(() => {
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            someOtherNodeLibrary.someMethod(param1, (err, res) => {
                if (err) {
                    return reject(err)
                }
                resolve(res)
            })
        })
    })
    // continue synchronously
    $('#elemA').click()
    $('.firstname').setValue('webdriverbot')
});
