Protractor - Error: Timeout - Async callback was not invoked within timeout specified by jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL

Question

My Protractor test fails with below error

Error: Timeout - Async callback was not invoked within timeout specified by jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL.

This is my spec file.

let common=require('./Objects/common.js') describe('Cloud testing', function() {

it('Cloudtest1', function() {

  let EC=protractor.ExpectedConditions;    
  browser.waitForAngularEnabled(false);

  browser.get(common.loginURL);
  common.txtUserName.sendKeys('[email protected]');
  common.txtPword.sendKeys('asdasd@#$');
  common.btnLogin.click();

   
  browser.wait(EC.visibilityOf(element(by.xpath("//a[@class='btn btn-success']"))));
 
  element(by.xpath("//a[@class='btn btn-success']")).click();
  
  common.btnCrtPcr.click();

  

});

});

Any help is appreciated, I tried answers to similar questions posted here but nothing works for me. I'm running the latest Protractor and Chrome versions.

Have you tried by asyn test? Sometimes even backend response or browser performance may affect the test cases.

Refer: https://jasmine.github.io/2.0/introduction.html#section-Asynchronous_Support

describe("Your module", function() {
    var originalTimeout;
    beforeEach(function() {
      originalTimeout = jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL;
      jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = 10000;
    });

    it("takes a long time", function(done) {
        let EC=protractor.ExpectedConditions;    
        browser.waitForAngularEnabled(false);

        browser.get(common.loginURL);
        common.txtUserName.sendKeys('[email protected]');
        common.txtPword.sendKeys('asdasd@#$');
        common.btnLogin.click();
   
        browser.wait(EC.visibilityOf(element(by.xpath("//a[@class='btn btn-success']"))));

        element(by.xpath("//a[@class='btn btn-success']")).click();
        common.btnCrtPcr.click();
    });

    afterEach(function() {
      jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = originalTimeout;
    });
  });

Your callback was later than your Jasmins default timout time. You might want to use async/await in your it block even though you have used expected condition.

it('Cloudtest1', async () => {

  let EC=protractor.ExpectedConditions;    
  browser.waitForAngularEnabled(false);

  browser.get(common.loginURL);
  await  common.txtUserName.sendKeys('[email protected]');
  await  common.txtPword.sendKeys('asdasd@#$');
  await  common.btnLogin.click();

   
  browser.wait(EC.visibilityOf(element(by.xpath("//a[@class='btn btn-success']"))));
 
  element(by.xpath("//a[@class='btn btn-success']")).click();
  
  await common.btnCrtPcr.click();

});

Suggestion: Perform action in page object or before each/all. Use it block for expect statement. example:

describe('When user logged Into account ', () => {
    beforeAll(async () => {
      await browser.waitForAngularEnabled(false);
      await loginPO.login();
      
    });
    it('Browser title should be displayed.', async () => {
      expect(await browser.getTitle()).toBe('test');
    });
  });
