Intern/Leadfoot : Getting error - Expecting a function in instanceof check, but got [object Object] on .Click() method

Question

I am learning Intern/leadfoot and trying to write a simple test. The test is logging an user to the site and logging out the user after verification on the next page.

Using Chromedriver v2.21.

Getting unknown error : Expecting a function in instanceof check, but got [object Object] for click() method for an element. However, the element is being identified and get the value for getVisibleText().

Here is my test Code:

define(function (require) {
    var registerSuite = require('intern!object');
    var assert = require('intern/chai!assert');

    registerSuite({
        name: 'Acceptance',             

        'Login': function () {          
            return this.remote  
                .get(require.toUrl('http://example.com'))
                .setFindTimeout(5000)
                .findByXpath('id("ius-userid")')
                    .click()
                    .type('user@user.com')
                    .end()
                .findByXpath('id("ius-password")')
                    .click()
                    .type('password')
                    .end()
                .findByXpath('id("ius-sign-in-submit-btn")')
                    .click()                    
                    .end()                      
                .sleep(15000)
        },

        'HomePage': function () {           
            return this.remote
                .setFindTimeout(5000)
                .findByXpath('id("userWelcome")')                   
                    .getVisibleText()
                        .then(function (text) {                         
                            assert.strictEqual(text, 'Welcome user@user.com!', 'Vaerify that, the Home page for the logged in user is displayed!');
                    })
                    .end()
                .findByXpath('id("settingsAndLogout")/A[2]') 
                    .getVisibleText()
                        .then(function(text){
                            console.log("The Sign out link text is :...", text.trim());
                            assert.strictEqual(text.trim(), 'Sign Out', 'Verify that, the Sign Out link is present.');
                        })                  
                    .click()
                    .end()
        }
    });
});

And, here is the output:

Need help in figuring out the issue. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Here's a suggestion:

.findByXpath('id("settingsAndLogout")/A[2]')
        .getVisibleText()
        .then(function(text){
          console.log("The Sign out link text is :...", text.trim());
          assert.strictEqual(text.trim(), 'Sign Out', 'Verify that, the Sign Out link is present.');
        })
      .end()
      .findByXpath('id("settingsAndLogout")/A[2]')
        .click()
      .end()

Not the most elegant solution as findbyXpath is redundant. But the thing is, .click() expects that previous command/element promise returns actual element when resolved (findByXpath will do that).

Hope this helps!
