WebdriverIO: How to correctly iterate throus elements and log out the getText?

Question

I want to learn webdriverio. I try to run this code:

client.init().
url('https://www.example.com').
elements('p').then((result) => {
    for (i = 0; i < result.value.length; i++) {
        (client.elementIdText(result.value[i])).
        then((re) => console.log(re))
    }
})

but that logs out nothing.

I know i can do it using getText('p'), but just wanna know how to do it using elements('p').

Answer 1

Hope this hint will help you in finding your answer:

let totalElements = $$('p').map((result) => {
    return result.getText();
});
console.log(totalElements);

Or this option

$$('p').forEach(function(result){
    console.log(result.getText());
});

Note: $$ Link

And to get it done from your code please do the same $$ , remove .value and change the method to getText() . As there is nothing returned because elementIdText() will take only selector ID as an argument. And <p> is not an ID. Refer here for elmentIdText()

for(i=0; i<result.length; i++){
  (client.getText(result[i])).
   then((re) => console.log(re))
}
