waitForCondition method never returning? - intern

Question

I'm trying to use Intern to author a first functional test, and I can't get around the following problem: when running the following test script
define(["intern!object",
"intern/chai!assert"
], function(registerSuite, assert){
registerSuite({
name: "suite",
"test": function(){
var browser = this.remote;
console.log("HELLO !");
browser.get("http://www.google.com", function() {
console.log("PAGE LOADED !");
browser.waitForCondition("!!window.document.gbqf", 1000, function(err, value){
console.log("LET'S BEGIN... ");
browser.eval("window.document.gbqf", function(err, value){
console.log("BYE BYE !");
browser.quit();
});
});
});
}
});
});
in chrome, using selenium server standalone 2.32.0 and chromedriver 26.0.1383.0 for windows, my test never end and the last message displayed in the console is "PAGE LOADED !".
Does anyone has an idea of how I'm suppose to write this test, or have a link to some proper (real life) functional tests examples ?
Thanks for your help,
Sebastien

Answer 1

The functional interface does not use callback arguments, it uses promises instead. Your code should look like this:
define([
"intern!object",
"intern/chai!assert"
], function (registerSuite, assert) {
registerSuite({
name: "suite",
"test": function () {
var browser = this.remote;
console.log("HELLO !");
return browser
.get("http://www.google.com")
.then(function () {
console.log("PAGE LOADED !");
})
.waitForCondition("!!window.document.gbqf", 1000)
.then(function () {
console.log("LET'S BEGIN... ");
})
.eval("window.document.gbqf")
.then(function (value) {
console.log("BYE BYE !");
});
});
}
});
});
Note in particular:
The last promise chain from this.remote is returned by the test function to indicate to Intern that the test is asynchronous
waitForCondition does not return a value
You should never call quit yourself; this is handled by Intern once the test is complete
