This is defined as a dictionary of the screenX, screenY, outerWidth and outerHeight attributes of the window.

Starting with v1.1 clearValue() will wait for the element to be present (until the specified timeout).

                                                                                                                                                                                            If the element is not found, an error is thrown which will cause the test to fail. Starting with v1.2 you can suppress element not found errors by specifying the suppressNotFoundErrors flag.

Waits a given time in milliseconds (default 5000ms) for an element to be not present (i.e. removed) in the page before performing any other commands or assertions. If the element is still present after the specified amount of time, the test fails.

                                                                                                                                                                                            You can change the polling interval by defining a waitForConditionPollInterval property (in milliseconds) in as a global property in your nightwatch.json or in your external globals file. Similarly, a default timeout can be specified as a global waitForConditionTimeout property (in milliseconds).

Waits a given time in milliseconds (default 5000ms) for an element to be not visible (i.e. hidden but existing) in the page before performing any other commands or assertions. If the element fails to be hidden in the specified amount of time, the test fails.

                                                                                                                                                                                            You can change the polling interval by defining a waitForConditionPollInterval property (in milliseconds) in as a global property in your nightwatch.json or in your external globals file. Similarly, a default timeout can be specified as a global waitForConditionTimeout property (in milliseconds).

If the element fails to be present in the specified amount of time, the test fails. You can change this by setting abortOnFailure to false.

                                                                                                                                                                                            You can change the polling interval by defining a waitForConditionPollInterval property (in milliseconds) in as a global property in your nightwatch.json or in your external globals file. Similarly, the default timeout can be specified as a global waitForConditionTimeout property (in milliseconds).
