waitUntil

This wait command is your universal weapon if you want to wait on something. It expects a condition and waits until that condition is fulfilled with a truthy value. If you use the WDIO testrunner the commands within the condition are getting executed synchronously like in your test.

A common example is to wait until a certain element contains a certain text (see example).

Usage

browser.waitUntil(condition[,timeout][,timeoutMsg][,interval]);
