Protractor/Jasmine test browser.isElementPresent not working when looking for a class

So i'm trying to run some tests with jasmine but i'm fairly new to the whole thing. I've spent way more time than i'm willing to admit trying to work out why my my webdriver is closing the browser before it has a chance to check the '.detailsColumn' element for expected results. After a while I've worked out that i can use browser.wait to make the browser stay alive long enough for the element to be ready.

My latest version of the test is below. The error I get is an invalidSelectorError and no info about which line the error was thrown on. I'd hazard a guess that the invalidSelectorError points to either my declaration or use of the detailsColumn variable though.

Can anyone see why this wouldn't work? I'm at a loss.

I'm using protractor/jasmine to do my tests, and using selenium for my web driver.

it('Should display result summary correctly when searching for multiple articles only', function () {
    var TrackID= ExpectedArticle1Details.TrackingID + ', ' + ExpectedArticle2Details.TrackingID;

    landingPage.get();
    landingPage.setTrackID(TrackID)
    landingPage.clickTrackButton();
    expect(resultPage.allElementsofLandingPageAreVisible()).toEqual(true);
    expect(resultPage.allHeadersofResultsPageAreVisible()).toEqual(true);

    browser.wait(function () {
        var detailsColumn = protractor.By.css('.detailsColumn.status:eq(0)');
         return browser.isElementPresent(detailsColumn).then(function (result) {
           expect(result).toBe(true);
           return result;
           console.log(result);
         });
       }, 10000);

JQuery index-related selectors like eq() are not supported by selenium webdriver.

You probably want to use nth-child instead:

.detailsColumn.status:nth-child(1)

Or, you may even replace it with element.all() plus first():

element.all(by.css(".detailsColumn.status")).first();

Additionally, if you have to use browser.wait(), I think you can replace the whole browser.wait() block you currently have with:

var EC = protractor.ExpectedConditions;
var detailsColumn = element(by.css('.detailsColumn.status:nth-child(1)'));
browser.wait(EC.presenceOf(detailsColumn), 10000);
