I already tried many changes but the error is present anyway.

I set 60000 in; allScriptsTimeout, getPageTimeout and defaultTimeoutInterval in conf.js (And basically in every timeout flag I set an high number).

I delete all the steps in the function and the error is still present:

Then('Right-Click on the first record Sort Pair', async function (){

    await browser.sleep(2000); 

});

Answer 1

I fix the issue, in the previous step I clicked a button and wait for it with this;

await expect(browser.wait(EC.visibilityOf(ntwrkHomeObs.applyBtn), 8000));
await ntwrkHomeObs.applyBtn.click();

The button is visible since the page load and continues in the DOM after is clicked just hided inside a div that is visible again if clicks a "Show Options" button.

For some reason this causes the issue.

I deleted this line;

 await expect(browser.wait(EC.visibilityOf(ntwrkHomeObs.applyBtn), 8000));
