Hi,

Could you show how to initialize the appium server with this plugin using the config json file of the docs ?

Thank you

The default element-wait retry do not override when I am trying to update from code:

{
  "server": {
    "plugin": {
      "element-wait": {
        "timeout": 50000,
        "intervalBetweenAttempts": 150,
        "excludeEnabledCheck": ["click"]
      }
    }
  }
}

private static AppiumDriverLocalService getAppiumDriverService() {
        return AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder()
                .withIPAddress("127.0.0.1")
                .usingPort(4723)
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.BASEPATH, "/wd/hub")
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.LOG_LEVEL, "info:debug")
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.USE_DRIVERS, "UiAutomator2")
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.ALLOW_INSECURE, "adb_shell")
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.RELAXED_SECURITY)
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.USE_PLUGINS, "element-wait, gestures, appium-dashboard")
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.SESSION_OVERRIDE)
                .withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(180))
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.CONFIGURATION_FILE, new File("config" + File.separator + "serverconfig.json").toString())
                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.SHOW_CONFIG)
                .withLogFile(new File(System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator + "Logs" + File.separator + Thread.currentThread().getId())));
    }
    

```

{
address: '0.0.0.0',
allowCors: false,
basePath: '',
callbackPort: 4723,
debugLogSpacing: false,
keepAliveTimeout: 600,
localTimezone: false,
loglevel: 'debug',
logNoColors: false,
logTimestamp: false,
longStacktrace: false,
noPermsCheck: false,
port: 4723,
relaxedSecurityEnabled: false,
sessionOverride: false,
strictCaps: false
}

(no configuration file loaded)

via CLI or function call:

{
address: '127.0.0.1',
allowInsecure: [ 'adb_shell' ],
basePath: '/wd/hub/',
loglevel: 'info:debug',
relaxedSecurityEnabled: true,
sessionOverride: true,
useDrivers: [ 'UiAutomator2' ],
usePlugins: [ 'element-wait', 'gestures', 'appium-dashboard' ]
}

final configuration:

{
address: '127.0.0.1',
allowInsecure: [ 'adb_shell' ],
basePath: '/wd/hub/',
logFile: 'D:\Automation-Framework\Generic\Logs\1',
loglevel: 'info:debug',
nodeconfig: { server: { plugin: [Object] } },
port: 4723,
relaxedSecurityEnabled: true,
sessionOverride: true,
useDrivers: [ 'UiAutomator2' ],
usePlugins: [ 'element-wait', 'gestures', 'appium-dashboard' ],
showConfig: true,
allowCors: false,
callbackPort: 4723,
debugLogSpacing: false,
keepAliveTimeout: 600,
localTimezone: false,
logNoColors: false,
logTimestamp: false,
longStacktrace: false,
noPermsCheck: false,
strictCaps: false
}

from CLI it is working properly
appium --base-path="/wd/hub/" --allow-insecure="adb_shell" --relaxed-security --session-override --use-drivers="UiAutomator2" --use-plugins="images, element-wait, appium-dashboard" --config "%cd%\config\serverconfig.json"

I installed the package via NPM, but when I am running appium --use-plugins=element-wait in the command line get's an error as
error: unrecognized arguments: --use-plugins=element-wait

Seems like there's no --use-plugins option in Appium

I'm using the element-wait plugin with Robot Framework and Appium2 to automate mobile testing. I've created a configuration file .appiumrc.json with the following settings:
{
"server": {
"plugin": {
"element-wait": {
"timeout": 2000000,
"intervalBetweenAttempts": 200,
"excludeEnabledCheck": ["click", "false"]
}
},
"use-plugins": ["element-wait"]
}
}
When executing tests, the Appium server starts with the plugin, and the timeout and interval settings are correctly applied. However, when attempting to find an element using the AppiumDriver.findElements() method, if the element is not found on the first attempt, the test immediately fails without retrying.

I expected the plugin to retry finding the element based on the configured timeout and interval settings, similar to how the Wait Until Page Contains Element keyword works in Robot Framework. However, it seems that the plugin is not retrying the element search.

Steps to Reproduce:

Set up Appium server with the element-wait plugin configured as described above.
Write a test case to find an element that may not be immediately available.
Execute the test case and observe that the test fails without retrying the element search.
Environment:

Operating System: Windows
Appium Version: 2.5.1
Device Under Test: android emulator

Expected Behavior:
I expect the element-wait plugin to retry finding the element according to the configured timeout and interval settings, allowing for more robust and reliable element detection during test execution.

configurations : [email protected] [installed (npm)]

element wait plugin doesnt retry to find element, it tries once and if the element is not present it doesnt retry to find the element

2. Success Log when element-wait plugin is not used in --use-plugins
   https://gist.github.com/dipakkumar1225/c80de443415e7f15fa486cce78d94e08

Sample App
https://github.com/dipakkumar1225/AppiumWaitPluginSample

Please suggest the solution for this

I am trying to click on an element which is visible, but its attribute enabled is false. The plugin is therefore waiting for it to become true, so the test fails.

Is it possible to configure the plugin to check only if an element exists, regardless of its enabled attribute?

Keep polling for web views for a certain period of time.

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'element-wait')

The Appium version installed on my machine: appium --version
2.0.0-beta.59

Hi,
I was working with appium-wait-plugin for past few days and it was working fine but today to my surprise it stopped working. I even restarted the appium server and simulator with fullReset but it did not solve the issue. Further i also ran the following commands as suggested on some forums to clear any other sessions running.

adb uninstall io.appium.uiautomator2.server
adb uninstall io.appium.uiautomator2.server.test
adb uninstall io.appium.unlock
adb uninstall io.appium.settings

But trying all of these did not solve the issue. If I run my script without the wait plugin, then it works successfully.
I have the following environment setup:

• JDK 11.0.2
• Appium 2.0.0-beta.71
• appium-java-client 8.5.1
• [email protected] [installed (npm)]
• selenium-java 4.9.1
• Node v18.16.0
• NPM 9.6.7
• macOS Ventura 13.4
• XCode 14.3
• iPhone 14 (iOS 16.4 simulator)

Java Client Test Code for UIKitCatalogApp:

By activityIndicators = AppiumBy.accessibilityId("Activity Indicators");
driver.findElement(activityIndicators).click();

i get the following error at findElement call:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'jwproxy')

Does this currently support python?

Integrated into my test suite & cannot get it to find the element, it times out..

I can see JS uses driver.findElement where as the python equivelant is driver.find_element

Is python supported or am i doing something wrong?!

Any help would be great.

Plugin should open options to disable for element check as well.

For Example:
When you are looking for element and adding login to scroll. This plugin will wait for given time for each element check. I would like to disable the element check in these cases.
