browser.wait is not working in Protractor when testing non angular js website

Question

I am working on testing a non angular js website with protractor.

My test case runs successfully but I want to remove sleep statement and either add wait or Expected condition to my Test case.

My code is as follows:

var co = require('co');
var path = require('path');

describe("TEST ", function () {

    it("test", co.wrap(function* () {
         browser.ignoreSynchronization = true;
        var EC = protractor.ExpectedConditions;
        yield browser.get('URL');
        browser.wait(function () {
            return browser.driver.isElementPresent(by.css(a[href = "#login"]));
        }, 30000);
        var elmOK = browser.driver.findElement(by.css('a[href="#login"]'));
        yield elmOK.click();
        expect(browser.getCurrentUrl()).toContain("login");
        yield browser.switchTo().frame('here-account-sdk').then(function () {
            browser.driver.findElement(by.id('sign-in-email')).sendKeys("supplier_portal@yahoo.com");
            browser.driver.findElement(by.id('sign-in-password-encrypted')).sendKeys("voting123");
            browser.driver.findElement(by.xpath(' //*[@id="sign-in-form"]/div[2]/div[6]/form/fieldset[3]/button')).click();

        });
        //  browser.sleep(5000);
        var elmOK = browser.driver.findElement(by.xpath('//*[@id="lnav"]/li[3]/a'));
        yield elmOK.click();
        //  browser.sleep(1500);
        browser.driver.findElement(by.xpath('//*[@id="administration"]/div/div[1]/select/option[2]')).click();
        //    browser.sleep(5000);

        browser.driver.findElement(by.xpath('//*[@id="administration"]/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[10]/span')).click();
        //     browser.sleep(5000);

        browser.driver.findElement(by.xpath('//*[@id="content"]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div[3]/button[1]')).click();
        //    browser.sleep(5000);
    }));




});

When I try to run my test I get following error. I don't know how to fix it.

Please help?

are you trying to read the spec results in conf.js file using parameter '_failures'? — Optimworks, Nov 07 '16 at 09:01

Is this:

 yield browser.switchTo().frame('here-account-sdk').then(function () {
        browser.driver.findElement(by.id('sign-in-email')).sendKeys("supplier_portal@yahoo.com");
        browser.driver.findElement(by.id('sign-in-password-encrypted')).sendKeys("voting123");
        browser.driver.findElement(by.xpath(' //*[@id="sign-in-form"]/div[2]/div[6]/form/fieldset[3]/button')).click();

    });

the only part that you have that is not angular related? If so, try to add browser.switchTo().defaultContent(); before var elmOK = browser.driver.findElement(by.xpath('//*[@id="lnav"]/li[3]/a'));.
