Testing with taiko: assert false

Question

I am working with taiko and gauge right now and have several asserts as e.g.

assert.ok(text("example").exists())

But now I delete some text parts and want to check that the text really is deleted. I tried

assert.equal(text("example").exists(), false)

but that fails. I suppose that exists() doesn't return booleans since assert.equal(text("example").exists(), true)also fails, while the above .ok is correct.

Is there any function like assert.notOk(text("example").exists())?

Thanks for your help in advance!

text("example").exists() waits for the text and fails if the text is not available on the page after specific interval of time.

Try using exists function as follows

text("example").exists(0,0) // i.e. (retryInterval, retryTimeout)

This will check the page immediately and return a boolean.

I've tried this solution with no luck. assert.ok(await text(str).exists(0,0)) – JakeDK May 19 '20 at 19:31

You can add the expected result (true or false) to your assert:

assert.ok(text("example").exists(), false)

This will result in a true if the search pattern does not exists.
