'Protractor browser.sleep() is not getting executed

In the below as you can see that the browser.sleep is supposed to be executed if the client is XYZ, but still it is not getting executed.

If i put any console.log after the browser.sleep statement, that statement is getting executed (i can see the statement) but the browser.sleep is not really waiting even though how much the sleep time i increase.

Why is the browser.sleep is not working? How do i make it wait if the client XYZ?

           if (testproperties.client == 'ABC'){
                browser.ignoreSynchronization = false;
                browser.waitForAngular();
                browser.ignoreSynchronization = true;    
            }
            else if (testproperties.client == 'XYZ'){
                browser.sleep('35000');
            };
protractor


Solution 1:[1]

Do you passing int type as parameter? Seems like it is string. Try

browser.sleep(35000)

Also check why you might need such huge browser sleep? Maybe you want browser.wait() instead?

Solution 2:[2]

put await in front of browser and pass a parameter to sleep (time in ms).

await browser.sleep(5000);

Solution 3:[3]

Try resolving the promise.

browser.sleep(35000).then(
  function(){
     console.log("Waiting");
  }
)

Or update protractor to the last version

npm install protractor@latest --save

Try following answer.

if (testproperties.client == 'ABC'){
    browser.ignoreSynchronization = false;
    browser.driver.sleep(2000);
    browser.ignoreSynchronization = true;    
}
else if (testproperties.client == 'XYZ'){
    browser.driver.sleep(2000);
};

Hope this helps. :)

Please give it a try with below code sample .

//For none angular sites
 browser.driver.ignoreSynchronization = true;
browser.waitForAngularEnabled(false);

//browser.get('url');
//If normal browser.sleep(7000); didnt work try
browser.driver.sleep(8000);
//click using ID instead of Javasctipt
 element(by.id('next')).click()

If you launch protractor with headless parameter browser.sleep() cannot works.

Remove this parameter and enjoy.

browser.sleep() should be executed with sync mode instead of async
