Inconsistent auto-complete behavior in webstorm

[Mek Stittri]

Dear WebStorm experts,

I am seeing inconsistent auto-complete for the NightWatchJS APIs eg. auto-complete works for browser.switchWindow() but not for browser.waitForElementVisible()

Also I am not sure if we are able to do an autocomplete on NW page objects from browser.page.<page object name>

eg. LoginPage is not coming up when browser.page.Log is typed

I was also looking at - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/nightwatchjs/completion/nightwatchjs/VLVY8BZSlBw/ic-H2kS2lpIJ
But then the thread got hijacked to creating a debug run.

I am still fairly new to both WebStorm and NW so I may have missed some configuration, would appreciate any help.

I am using the default configuration out of the box and I was also wondering if other WS users on here are using any additional lib configuration.

• Installed everything via npm and all artifacts are in node_modules which is also marked as a JS library in webstorm (project level)
  
• NodeJs Core modules are also downloaded as external lib and tick enabled.

Current dir structure looks like this

-- project root
     |
     |-- node_modules (Marked as library home by WS)

         |
         |-- chromedriver

         |-- nightwatch 

         |-- selenium-standalone 

     |
     |-- page_objects

     |-- reports

     |-- tests

See attached 

Thanks for all the help folks!

Hey there Mek,

Just wanted to confirm the same problem here. Have upgraded node to latest, reconfigured project, and added nightwatch library as framework type "node_modules" but I only get autocomplete for some things (i.e. waitForConditionTimeout is found, and when using CTRL+B to goto definition, it correctly goes to the nightwatch def. however waitForElementVisible cannot find a definition).

Trying to make progress, lets share our progress if we make any.

Hi There,

I was able to get some of the commands to work.
I also marked the src vs test directory and also added some of the NW dirs as project lib.
Will post a screenshot when I get back home. 

But I think because of the dynamic nature of JS and nightwatch page object reference browser.pages.<your-page-object>, I dont think this is 100% reliable unless we do an explicit import of the page object file itself.
I maybe wrong but will gladly accept other people's feedback on getting this to work like IntelliJ and Java libs.

Have a great 4th july weekend!

Hey Mek,

I ended up adding the entire Nightwatch folder as library (just to see) - I got a lot of duplicate entries in the autocompletion suggestions for some functions but still completely lacked others. Not sure. I filed a bug report with JetBrains - they accepted it as a bug and have assigned someone - perhaps we will see a fix!
