wait for http request to complete in protractor

I am trying to wait for spinner to disappear and then for my steps to execute but nothing is working for me.

browser.wait(function () {

return this.spinner.isDisplayed().then(function (result) {

return !result;});}, 20000);

and i even tried with

browser.wait(function () {

return !browser.isElementPresent(this.spinner);}, 20000);

even with below method

browser.sleep(1000);

this.spinner.isPresent().then(function (result) {

if (result === true) {

var EC = protractor.ExpectedConditions;

browser.wait(EC.invisibilityOf(this.spinner), 10000);}});

then only thing that works is

browse.sleep(10000);

i don't want to use sleep in my code. can anyone help me with how to wait for complete http request to complete and then process with testing

you should consider using Expected Conditions since they return true/false based on current conditions

http://www.protractortest.org/#/api?view=ProtractorExpectedConditions.prototype.invisibilityOf

so your test case would become:

browser.wait(EC.invisibilityOf(this.spinner),20000).then(function(){
    ...continue test, spinner gone
});

UPDATE

in order to use done, you would generally pass this cb into your it() function. This means your test could look like

describe("example describe",function(){
  it("should be an example only", function(done){
    request.get("www.google.com",function(res){
      //done with async request, now call done
      done();
    })
  })
});

Since your entire code isn't posted up here, you should have something similar to:

it("should wait for spinner to go bye-bye",function(done){
  browser.wait(EC.invisibilityOf(this.spinner),20000).then(function(){
    done()
  });
});
