Testcase provided for webdriverio #7289

How the repo was created

After creating a new repo on GitHub, it was cloned to my local machine.

I then ran the following commands:

npm init -y
npm install @wdio/cli
.\node_modules\.bin\wdio

At this point the configuration utility ran and I selected all default options. I did not have scripts generated.

I copied the test folder and everything it contains into the hierarchy, as well as the wdio.conf.js file.

Passing tests without @wdio/sync

I then ran:

.\node_modules\.bin\wdio

and all tests passed

Failing test with @wdio/sync

I then did:

npm install @wdio/sync
.\node_modules\.bin\wdio

and now the final test fails with the error:

SecurePage.btnSubmit.click is not a function

How to use the repo

Here are the steps to replicate the above with this repo:

NOTE: The repo is also being used for a wdio-image-comparison-service issue, check the wdio.conf.js and make sure that only the example.e2e.js file is selected in the specs section.

1. Clone the repo and open a shell in the top level fo the repo
2. Run npm install - installs the necessary packages
3. Run .\node_modules\.bin\wdio - observe that all the tests pass
4. Run npm install @wdio/sync - install the sync package
5. Run .\node_modules\.bin\wdio - observe that the final test fails

The final test fails with the message:

SecurePage.btnSubmit.click is not a function

This demonstrates the problem being described.
