isDisplayed

Overview​

Use the isDisplayed command to determine whether a given DOM element is displayed.

The command returns true if the selected DOM element is displayed; otherwise, it returns false.

warning

Unlike other element commands, Testplane will not wait for the element to exist before executing this command.

Usage​

await browser.$(selector).isDisplayed();

Usage Examples​

index.html

<div id="notDisplayed" style="display: none"></div>
<div id="notVisible" style="visibility: hidden"></div>
<div id="notInViewport" style="position:absolute; left: 9999999"></div>
<div id="zeroOpacity" style="opacity: 0"></div>

isDisplayed.js

it("should detect if an element is displayed", async ({ browser }) => {
    let elem = await browser.$("#notDisplayed");
    let isDisplayed = await elem.isDisplayed();
    console.log(isDisplayed); // outputs: false

    elem = await browser.$("#notVisible");
    isDisplayed = await elem.isDisplayed();
    console.log(isDisplayed); // outputs: false

    elem = await browser.$("#notExisting");
    isDisplayed = await elem.isDisplayed();
    console.log(isDisplayed); // outputs: false

    elem = await browser.$("#notInViewport");
    isDisplayed = await elem.isDisplayed();
    console.log(isDisplayed); // outputs: true

    elem = await browser.$("#zeroOpacity");
    isDisplayed = await elem.isDisplayed();
