IsDisplayed() shows as unresolved method, although still works

[annastrik]

Hi WebdriverIO community,
Can someone help me to figure out why the isDisplayed() method shows as greyed out for me, not enabled, not clickable. When I hover over it shows “unresolved function or method”.

However, the isDisplayed function still works normally, I checked in logs.

Same concerns waitForExist() and waitForDisplayed(). It also works by the way, just shows as “unresolved function or method”.

I use Appium/WebdriverIO/Mocha integration in my tests.

@annastrik I double checked the release and both command types and implementation got properly released. We recently did some changes here so I would not be suprised if we missed something. Would you mind providing a reproducible example?

[erwinheitzman]

What we mean by a reproducible example repo is that you create a small repository in which you install webdriverio and appium in which you can reproduce the issue.
Without it, we are simply playing in the dark.

@erwinheitzman @christian-bromann
Thank you for clarifying, here it is
https://github.com/annastrik/Project-Appium-Mocha-WDIO-Sample

Just open any of 2 files in tests directory.
The way I see isDisplayed, waitForDisplayed, waitForExist in Webstorm:

[erwinheitzman]

Looks like it's all the commands as the click command is also highlighted so I doubt this has got anything to do with the changes to the isDisplayed command

[christian-bromann]

I don't have a Webstorm license so it is hard for me to debug this. Any help is much appreciated.

@erwinheitzman the click command had some eslint warning (duplicated code note), it is not related, I ignored it.

Here are the texts that appear when hovering over isDisplayed and waitForDisplayed (it is not the eslint warning):
