Example

Asynchronous Mode

isEqual.js

it('should detect if an element is clickable', async () => {
    const el = await $('#el')
    const sameEl = await $('#el')
    const anotherEl = await $('#anotherEl')

    el.isEqual(sameEl) // outputs: true

    el.isEqual(anotherEl) // outputs: false
});

Synchronous Mode

isEqual.js

it('should detect if an element is clickable', () => {
    const el = $('#el')
    const sameEl = $('#el')
    const anotherEl = $('#anotherEl')

    el.isEqual(sameEl) // outputs: true

    el.isEqual(anotherEl) // outputs: false
});

caution

Synchronous Mode will depcrecated with Node.js v16. With an update to the underlying Chromium version it became technically impossible to provide the same synchronous behavior. We recommend to start transition to asynchronous command execution. For more information, see our RFC.
