How to wait for a page to load or element to be present when using Protractor for a non-Angular page

Question

I am new to Protractor. I think I have this down when dealing with an Angular page, but can\'t figure it out for a non-Angular page. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Another Neat approach is to use "Expected Conditions" inside browser.wait - something like this:

var EC = protractor.ExpectedConditions;
var search = element(by.id('search'))
browser.wait(EC.visibilityOf(search), 2000).then(function(){
 search.click()
})

You can get more details here: https://angular.github.io/protractor/#/api?view=ExpectedConditions
