I am using protractor-cucumber framework with protractor 5.2.2. I have a requirement of post something in each location of any account and different accounts having different number of locations.And i am getting this location value from the DB(I have to click on this locations by its name).I have used below code for that.

request.query('SELECT * FROM Locations WHERE ID =1', function (loc) {               
    var loc_count=loc.length ;
      var i;    
      for (i=0; i<loc_count; i++){           
          element(by.cssContainingText("span", loc[i].Location_name)).click();
          browser.sleep(4000);
          element(by.css('.post')).sendKeys("test"); 
          element(by.css('.submit')).click();;                               
      } 
});

But here the asynchronous functions click()/sendKeys()/sleep() are not waiting.click()/sendKeys()/sleep() are executing for one or two locations and exit from the for loop and then executing the next feature step. So how can i execute this loop properly for all locations.Thanks in Advance.

Your loop ends before even the first element is clicked. You can use `loc.map(function(elem) { ... });` – FCin Aug 30 '18 at 12:16
Thanks for your reply.But loc.map(function(elem) also not working. click()/sendKeys()/sleep() are not waiting even in the map function. – Devleena Aug 30 '18 at 13:26
