Protractor conditional testing

I am attempting to run a suite of tests, and one of the tests relies on whether an element is displayed on the page. The element in question is pagination in a table.

The table is always present, but the pagination is only displayed if the record count is over 20. I am attempting to test the deletion of the last record in the table and so I have either delete the last record, OR click the 'last' button in the pagination, and then delete the final record.

I have attempted to implement the following SO answer, see below code:

it('should test the deletion of a record against whether pagination exists or not', function() {
    element(by.css('.pagination')).isDisplayed().then(function(present) {
        if(present) {
            // Click last button and perform delete on last record
        } else {
            // perform delete on last record
        };
    });
});

However, when running the test, Protractor is moaning that No element found using locator: By.cssSelector(".pagination") when the page has a record count of less than 20 and the pagination is now displayed.

I have passing test for both instances when I know that pagination is present or not, but to keep it as DRY as possible I want to conditionally check and ensure both sets of tests are passable dependant on the record count.

Any help would be much appreciated!

The problem is that you have to use isPresent instead of isDisplayed. It might help you having a true/false value.
