appium-flutter-driver: FlutterDriver command timeout seems infinite

When I execute a FlutterDriver command using a FlutterElement that is either not displayed on the phone or not on the phone, the driver does not timeout; it stays stuck in an infinite loop. I’m not aware of any timeouts I can set to solve this problem. I set the implicit wait time using the following code:

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(seconds, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

@ravireddy07 Sorry for the late response On my case, it seems like the problem was a Flutter futures that didn’t complete For example, if you have an animation that never ends or alike, the appium-flutter-driver won’t be able to find the element, while on the appium server log you will see the response which include “future not completed”

Hope that could be helpful on your case
