How to run steps/functions in nightwatch test sequentially?

[Monogeoo]

I am new to nightwatch and nodejs. I want to execute the following functions in a nightwatch test sequentially, but it doesn't. The function second gets executed before the function first has completed. 

module.exports = {
  "Test end-to-end new incident flow" : function(client) {
    var async = require('async');
    var incident_log = require("crypto").randomBytes(32).toString('hex');
    var incident_name;
    async.series([
      function first(callback) {
        console.log('first');
        var incident_name;
        client
          .page.admin_home().fetchPage()
          .page.admin_home().login()
          .page.admin_home().clickIncidentsTab()
          .page.incidents_home().verifyPage()
          .page.incidents_home().clickNewButton()
          .page.new_incident().verifyPage()
          .page.new_incident().createIncident(incident_log)
          .page.incident_detail().verifyPage()
          .page.incident_detail().getIncidentName(function(result) {
            incident_name = result.value
            console.log(result.value)
          });
        callback(null, 'first');
      },
      function second(callback) {
        console.log('second');
        var sfdb = require('sfdb.js')
        var query = "SELECT Id, Name FROM Incident WHERE Name like '%"+incident_name+"%'";
        sfdb.query(client.globals, query, function(data) {
          console.log(require('util').inspect(data))
        });
        callback(null, 'second');
      }
    ],
    function(err, results) {
      console.log(results)
    });
    client.end();
  }
};

Here is the actual output from the test:

Running:  Test end-to-end new incident flow
 

first
second
[ 'first', 'second' ]
{ totalSize: 0, done: true, records: [] }
✔  Element <#Login> was visible after 72 milliseconds.
✔  Testing if element <#Login> is visible.
✔  Element <img.chatter-photo> was visible after 6776 milliseconds.
✔  Testing if attribute title of <span.chatter-avatarSmall> equals "Panda Tester".
✔  Element <#AllTab_Tab> was visible after 17 milliseconds.
✔  Element <.pbTitle> was visible after 1202 milliseconds.
✔  Testing if element <.pbTitle> contains text: "Recent Incidents".
✔  Element <.pbButton> was visible after 80 milliseconds.
✔  Testing if element <.pbButton> is present.
✔  Element <.pageDescription> was visible after 1045 milliseconds.
✔  Testing if element <.pageDescription> contains text: "New Incident".
✔  Element <.mainTitle> was visible after 4920 milliseconds.
✔  Testing if element <.mainTitle> contains text: "Incident Detail".
✔  Element <h2.pageDescription> was visible after 20 milliseconds.
I-0240

OK. 14 total assertions passed. (25.724s)

Since the function second gets executed while the function first is still running; hence, the database query returns:

{ totalSize: 0, done: true, records: [] }

If the function second gets executed once the function first has completed, the database query should return:

{ totalSize: 1, done: true, records: [Id: 'xxxxxx', Name: 'I-0240'] }

What am I done wrong? What is the proper way to execute steps/functions in nightwatch test sequentially?

Please help and thanks!

I tried the multi-steps approach documented in http://nightwatchjs.org/guide#write-tests, and it seems to solve my problem. Below is my code. I am new to nightwatch and nodejs so I am not quite sure my solution is good enough. Please let me know if there are better ways than this. Thanks!

var incident_log = require("crypto").randomBytes(32).toString('hex');
var incident_name;

module.exports = {
  "Test end-to-end new incident flow - Step 1" : function(client) {
    console.log('first');

    client
      .page.admin_home().fetchPage()
      .page.admin_home().login()
      .page.admin_home().clickIncidentsTab()
      .page.incidents_home().verifyPage()
      .page.incidents_home().clickNewButton()
      .page.new_incident().verifyPage()
      .page.new_incident().createIncident(incident_log)
      .page.incident_detail().verifyPage()
      .page.incident_detail().getIncidentName(function(result) {
        incident_name = result.value
        console.log(result.value)
      });

  },
  "Test end-to-end new incident flow - Step 2" : function(client) {
    console.log('two');

    var sfdb = require('sfdb.js')
    var query = SELECT Id, Name FROM Incident WHERE Name like '%"+incident_name+"%'"

;

    sfdb.query(client.globals, query, function(data) {
      console.log(require('util').inspect(data))
    });

    client.end();
  }
};

And the output:

Running:  Test end-to-end new incident flow - Step 1

first
✔  Element <#Login> was visible after 78 milliseconds.

✔  Testing if element <#Login> is visible.

✔  Element <img.chatter-photo> was visible after 10140 milliseconds.

✔  Element <#AllTab_Tab> was visible after 19 milliseconds.
✔  Element <.pbTitle> was visible after 1384 milliseconds.

✔  Testing if element <.pbTitle> contains text: "Recent Incidents".

✔  Element <.pbButton> was visible after 21 milliseconds.

✔  Testing if element <.pbButton> is present.

✔  Element <.pageDescription> was visible after 967 milliseconds.

✔  Testing if element <.pageDescription> contains text: "New Incident".

✔  Element <.mainTitle> was visible after 2622 milliseconds.

✔  Element <h2.pageDescription> was visible after 20 milliseconds.

Thanks! I was having the same problem
