Nightwatch-friendly command or javascript function to reload a page

Question

I have been trying the various suggestions for reloading a page.

Reload a page manually

With Nightwatch magellan testarmada. The error I see is "TypeError: Cannot read property 'apply' of undefined"

Has anyone else run into this problem/ solved it?

EDIT: client.navigate().refresh(); does not work.

You need to show us your code. – jcubic Feb 22 '16 at 17:41 — jcubic, Feb 22 '16 at 17:41

Embarrassingly obvious, once I fixed it. I was calling it in an external function but the problem amounted to this:

module.exports = new Test({

    '@disabled': false,

    "test page that needs a reload" : function(client){
    client
        // set url
        .url(this.url)
        .pause(this.timeout)
        .navigate().refresh() // does not work
        .refresh() // does work. 

    },


});

I can't see why moving `.refresh()` to the next line would make any difference. Can you explain why it does make a difference? – Daryn Jan 19 '18 at 16:04

.navigate() function was unnecessary. – QualiT Jan 20 '18 at 23:39

Refrain yourself from using navigate here. Use the mentioned code below:

return client.refresh();
