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#

call.js

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')
});
