In protractor, browser.isElementPresent vs element.isPresent vs element.isElementPresent

Question

In protractor, there are, basically, 3 ways to check if an element is present:

var elm = element(by.id(\"myid\"));

browser.isElementPresent(elm);
elm.isPres         


        

Answer 1

You can check whether the element is present or not by using the isPresent function.

So, your code would be something like:

var myElement = element(by.css('.elementClass'));
expect(myElement.isPresent()).toBeFalsy();

Here is the protractor docs for the isPresent function.
