What is the better way to do synchronous loops on Nightwatch?

Question

I am using async/await on forEach, but in some cases, when there is an issue inside loop, Nightwatch shows the error in the next scenario/step (there is something that is running as asynchronous and I need it step by step).

forEach and async don't mix up well together, please read: https://stackoverflow.com/a/37576787/823732 — MMalke, Mar 28 '21 at 14:24

Nightwatch use the function perform() to make asynchonous commands synchronous

browser.perform(done=> {
   Promise.all(#####ALL_YOUR_PROMISES_TO_RESOLVE#####).then(done).catch(done);
})

or you could also do something like

    myArray.forEach(one => {
       browser.perform(done=> {
          STUFFS_TO_DO;
          done();
       })
    })

Thanks. I'll try with `Promises` – Sergio González Q. Oct 17 '18 at 13:58
