Jasmine-node assertions within promises not shown

Question

The below code all functions correctly with the exception of the assertion. When the test is run Jasmine reports 0 assertions. How can I keep my assertions within the promises and have them be recognized?

it("should open save NTP server modal", function (done) {
    var addModal = driver.findElement(By.className('modal-dialog'));
    driver.wait(until.stalenessOf(addModal), 5000).then(function () {
        return     driver.wait(until.elementIsEnabled(driver.findElement(By.id('saveButton'))), 5000).then(function (element){ 
            return element.click();
        });
    });

    driver.findElement(By.className("modal-body")).then(function (element) {
        return expect(element.isDisplayed()).toBeTruthy();
    });

    done();
});

I know that in this specific case(my best example test) I could just catch the element and then do the expect outside of a promise:

var element = driver.findElement(By.className("modal-body"));
expect(element.isDisplayed()).toBeTruthy();

Unfortunately I have other cases where I cannot determine a way to do the exception outside of a promise.

You have to put your "done" method inside the final callback.

driver.findElement(By.className("modal-body")).then(function (element) {
    expect(element.isDisplayed()).toBeTruthy();
    done();
});

You can also look into Chai promises library, which is meant for handling async expects.

Also if you have asserts waiting for multiple promise objects to resolve then it would be better to use libraries like async.js to properly call the "done" callback. – appu Mar 10 '17 at 19:50
This was the issue thanks! I'll take a look at using mocha/chai again and see if it would be better. – dittmanc Mar 10 '17 at 20:58
