TypeError: driver.isElementPresent is not a function

Question

I am attempting to write a node function that logs into a website and am having trouble getting it to work. I am trying to wait for the page to load using the isElem

Answer 1

Make sure that all of the dependencies like Selenium and the browser driver are installed and working using a very minimal example.

Then you can check what functions are on the driver object with console.log(util.inspect(driver));

If your dependencies are set up, it may be that the API changed slightly. The current example here https://www.npmjs.com/package/selenium-webdriver uses until. You may want to try something closer to that example first.

Answer 2

For consistency with the other Selenium language bindings, WebDriver#isElementPresent() and WebElement#isElementPresent() have been deprecated.

If you're using Selenium 3, you should try using findElements instead to determine element present or not as below :-

driver.findElements(By.id('email')).then(found => !!found.length);

Or if you want to wait until desire element present, you should try using webdriver.until as below :-

const until = webdriver.until;

var user = driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.id('email')), timeout);
user.sendKeys(username);
