Timed out waiting for asynchronous script result while executing protractor scripts with appium

Question

I have a problem while running more than one test in protractor : Timed out waiting for asynchronous script result after 60010 s The code of tutorial script which is executed just after the login script :

Here the code i'm using in my config file from A Code proposed in another question but it didn't solve my problem !

onPrepare: function() {
  return browser.getProcessedConfig().then(function(config) {
    var browserName = config.capabilities.browserName;
    browser.manage().timeouts().setScriptTimeout(60000);

  });

PS : Even if i put an incorrect location for the element i have the error of time out and not this element cannot be found ! as if that line of code "the click into tutorial button" is never executed

• Is it because tutorial make an ajax call ?

Here my html code :

</div></md-card-content> </md-card><!-- end ngIf: !expandChart --> </div> </div> </div></md-content> </div></div> <!-- Google Analytics: change UA-XXXXX-X to be your site's ID --> <!--<script>--> <!--!function(A,n,g,u,l,a,r){A.GoogleAnalyticsObject=l,A[l]=A[l]||function(){--> <!--(A[l].q=A[l].q||[]).push(arguments)},A[l].l=+new Date,a=n.createElement(g),--> <!--r=n.getElementsByTagName(g)[0],a.src=u,r.parentNode.insertBefore(a,r)--> <!--}(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');--> <!--ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-X');--> <!--ga('send', 'pageview');--> <!--</script>--> <script src="scripts/vendor.js"></script> <script src="cordova.js"></script> <script src="scripts/scripts.js"></script> <script src="https://crypto-js.googlecode.com/svn/tags/3.1.2/build/rollups/sha1.js"></script> <script src="https://crypto-js.googlecode.com/svn/tags/3.1.2/build/rollups/sha256.js"></script> <script src="https://crypto-js.googlecode.com/svn/tags/3.1.2/build/components/enc-base64-min.js"></script> <div class="introjs-overlay" style="top: 0;bottom: 0; left: 0;right: 0;position: fixed;opacity: 0.8;"></div><div class="introjs-helperLayer " style="width: 538px; height:366px; top:64px;left: 195px;"></div><div class="introjs-tooltipReferenceLayer" style="width: 538px; height:366px; top:64px;left: 195px;"><div class="introjs-tooltip" style="left: 546px;"><div class="introjs-tooltiptext">Watchlist view.

Answer 1

1. Regarding with route check

In case after first spec, user got logged in and the route changed. Make sure all are navigated before any test executed.

expect(browser.getCurrentUrl()).toContain('#/the_route_of_logged_in'); 
// '#/' is just illustration. You can remove it to make it shorter
// => like this ...toContain('the_route_of_logged_in');

2. Regarding with click on tutorial

browser.wait(EC.elementToBeClickable(tutorial), 10000);

Do the browser.wait with EC for click-able button before attempt to click it (it seem like you got good approach here)

=> SUMMING UP you can give this a try:

'user strict';

var EC = protractor.ExpectedConditions;

describe('tutorials', function () {

    it('should make click into tutorial button', function () {

        expect(browser.getCurrentUrl()).toContain('the_route_of_logged_in');

        var tutorial = $('.introjs-nextbutton'); 
        browser.wait(EC.elementToBeClickable(tutorial), 8000, 'Timed out');
        tutorial.click();

        browser.sleep(8080); // regardless we are not reaching this point. But I will suggest to reduce this sleep time like 1000 (1s).
    });
});

3. (optional) in case 2 points above does not help

In your all of your spec login-spec.js and tutorial-spec.js. Add process.nextTick(done); in a afterAll() block to ensure if there are no any Jasmine Reporters being stuck after a spec.

describe('foo', function(){

  afterAll(function(done){
    process.nextTick(done);
  });  

  it('should bar...', function() {});
}

P.S. Beware that I am totally have no clue if my suggestions/approach could help. As debugging with e2e-test always painful... because we are always likely not knowing "where are the errors come from". So all I can do is giving you suggestions. (sometimes it took me hours to just observe the behaviors of browser to identify an issue of e2e-test)

And DO NOT COPY PASTE my code into your code. I typed it with the images you provide, I can make some typos there.

Answer 2

Add parameter to conf.js under capabilities:

maxSessions: 1,

it should help. Also your timeoutinterval might be too high 30000 should be enough.

Or on prepare change line to :

browser.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5000);

@EDIT: change to sth similar to this found something like this

5. baseUrl is 10.0.2.2 instead of localhost because it is used to access the localhost of the host machine in the android emulator/device

baseUrl: 'http://10.0.2.2:' + (process.env.HTTP_PORT || '8000'),

Capabilities new command:

 newCommandTimeout: 60

Also use of promises might be helpfull instead of timeouts

someethingToDo.click().then(function(){

  return somethingToDo.click();

}).then(function(){
    //morecode
});
