WebDriver Error Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'String' in false
Mihail Seykov
Hi,
I am posting my problem for the second time. Sorry for that, but i have a lot more information about the problem. I have been using selenium webdriver with protractor for more than a year now and recently after updating to Selenium 3, i got an error that i have never encountered before. As stated in the title my error is - "WebDriver Error Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'String' in false". I am doing everything in the code as always, but even my old tests which were working correctly and were used everyday, don't work now. The tests starts and navigate to the page correctly(which is the first step in the test), but everything after that fails no matter if it is only clicking, or typing. I found out that this problem only occurs on the web sites that were developed by the company i am working at. I did not have any problems running tests on any other sites. We tried disabling the Javascript of one of our web sites and the tests started working correctly, so the problem is in the javascript of the site. Here is link for one of out sites that is live and working as expected, but the tests started to fail after update to Selenium 3 - https://www.arubabank.com/ .
Here is full error message for second step:
