getLocationInView doesn't work on IE11 on version 1.0.19

[jtheodore-rent]

I am in the process of upgrading from nightwatch to 1.0.19 from 0.9.21. Most of the issues we have run into we have been able to resolve, but there is a persistent issue with getLocationInView on IE11 that I am unable to resolve sufficiently.

Nightwatch version: 1.0.19 Node version: 11.9.0

Below is sample test code that will work on a chrome browser in saucelabs but fail on Internet Explorer 11:

const pdpPath = '/apartments/Georgia/Atlanta/Post-Brookhaven/192087/'

module.exports = {
  before: browser => {
    browser
      .url(`https://www.apartmentguide.com${pdpPath}`)
  },

  after: browser => {
    browser.end()
  },

  'Scroll far down the page': browser => {
    browser.scrollByAmount(0, 1000000)
  },

  'Open Modal': browser => {
    const pdp = browser.page.large.pdp()
    browser.pause(1000).page.large.pdp()
      .getLocationInView('@floorplansSection', () => {
        pdp.section.floorplans.click('@firstFloorplan', () => {
          pdp.waitForElementVisible('@floorplanModal')
        })
      })
  },

}

Below is the verbose output for the above code running on an IE11 VM:

It doesn't look like this can be fixed in Nightwatch. Feel free to post on the Mailing List for assistance, or maybe you could contact SauceLabs support to check why is that command timing out?

[jtheodore-rent]

@beatfactor this issue was introduced by Nightwatch with the new version - it didn't occur on the old version. The element is there. For some reason, the new version of nightwatch is having difficulty determining the location of elements that are not yet scrolled into view on IE11, which kind of defeats the purpose of the getLocationInView command.

[beatfactor]

Could you post a log using the v0.9.21 version?

So you have the same error there as well, but in v0.9.21 it wasn't taken into account, now it is. Have you tried with removing the getLocationInView altogether from the test?

[jtheodore-rent]

I have - without that, the test doesn't pass at all. Maybe that error should be a warning? When the error occurs, the test still continues past and succeeds all the actual assertions we have, but it gets marked as a failure because of this error.

[beatfactor]

You can try to catch the error - you'll need v1.1.8 or above:

Try this:

'Open Modal': async function(browser) {
    const pdp = browser.page.large.pdp()
    await browser.pause(1000);
    try {
      await pdp.getLocationInView('@floorplansSection');
    } catch (e) {
      console.warn(e.stack);
    }
    await pdp.section.floorplans.click('@firstFloorplan');
    await pdp.waitForElementVisible('@floorplanModal');
  },

More (not a lot) about ES6 async here: https://nightwatchjs.org/guide#using-es6-async-await-beta-

[jtheodore-rent]

Thanks - I'll try that, appreciate you taking the time to help with this.

[beatfactor]

No problem, Just so you know, I haven't tried it myself. The es6 async is still quite new and not very polished yet.

[jtheodore-rent]

Understood - I'm still working on cleaning up some of the other tests so we can actually get the new version of Nightwatch into our pipeline - once that's completed, I'll circle back to this
