nightwatch: waitForElementVisible failed with chromedriver 75.0.3770.8

Looks like Nightwatch 1.1.7 doesn’t recognize the new W3C response/identifier format:

{ value:
   [ { 'element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf': 'c125c68d-c4da-4422-abf5-04757feb6961' } ] }

testGoogle.js:

module.exports = {
  'Demo test Google' : function (browser) {
    browser
      .url('https://www.google.com')
      .waitForElementVisible('body', 4000)
      .setValue('input[type=text]', 'nightwatch')
      .waitForElementVisible('input[name=btnK]', 5000)
      .click('input[name=btnK')
      .pause(3000)
      .assert.containsText('#search', 'Nightwatch.js')
      .end();
  }
};

Here is the output from Nightwatch:

It does.

However, Chrome (stable) still uses JSONWire protocol so we cannot switch yet to full W3C Webdriver. But you can try to switch manually by setting:

webdriver: {
  use_legacy_jsonwire: true
}
