Bunch of help methods for e2e automation testing via Puppeteer

Purpose

Several examples why library exists:

• You always have some troubles with click? waitForSelector() does not help sometimes and you use $eval(selector, (node) => node.click()? Please, stop clicking using JS if you write e2e UI tests. Our user does not interact with browser in such maner!

Was:

    await page.waitForSelector(selector, { timeout:30000 });
    await page.$eval(selector, (e: any) => e.click());

with Grease:

await click(page, selector);

click() will wait when Puppeteer find element and also when element become visible.

Library has other useful methods in API.md (TBD)

• You aware Puppeteer does not have getText() method, strange but truth

Was:

 await page.waitForSelector(selector);
 const text = await page.$eval(selector, (el: any) => el.innerText);

with Grease:

const text = await getText(page, selector);

getText() will wait when Puppeteer find element and also when element become visible. Only after that get text of element.
