Error waitAsync is already running and cannot be called again at this moment

[Scotti-Scholter-Marichal]

Hello,

I keep running into this error and no matter what I do it does not seem to be solvable.
The process is as followed:

1. The test navigates (using await browser.url(url)) to a login page which does not use UI5 and therefore the $ function of wdio needs to be used to retrieve web elements.
2. The test logs in and then navigates to the FLP which supports the wdi5 retrieval of controls
   const userElement = await $(cssUserSelector); const passElement = await $(cssPassSelector); await userElement.setValue(username); await passElement.setValue(password); await logonElement.click();
3. Finally before continuing with the test we need to inject UI5 with await ui5Service.injectUI5(); after importing ui5Service as followed const { default: _ui5Service } = require("wdio-ui5-service"); const ui5Service = new _ui5Service();

If you now try to retrieve a control with browser.asControl(selector) or use any wdi5 function it throws the above error

[wdi5] call of _getControl() failed because of: Error: waitAsync is already running and cannot be called again at this moment

I've also tried to wait some time for the page to fully load before injecting UI5, but it still did not work.
If there is anything I did wrong or misunderstood please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Best wishes,
Scotti
