WaitUntill works only with Cypress methods about cypress-wait-until HOT 9 CLOSED

You're right, I hadn't realized it until now... well, how waitUntil works:

1. it runs the checkFunction
2. if the result is falsy, it waits (through cy.wait)
3. return to step n°1 25 times (by default, it's the result of 5000/200, the default timeout, and the default interval)

Then, what happens when two waitUntil calls are nested

1. parent: it runs the checkFunction
   1.1. child: it runs the checkFunction
   1.2. child: if the result is falsy, it waits (through cy.wait)
   1.3. child: return to step n°1.1 25 times
2. parent: if the result is falsy, it waits (through cy.wait)
3. return to step n°1 25 times

so the parent waitUntil call will retry 25 times (by default) but every time the child waitUntil call runs 25 retries, completely breaking the concept of "time" of the parent call.

I'm going to add this note to the README, thanks a lot for the dedication @JonahKK!!!!!! ❤️

Hi @JonahKK
Thanks for asking, could you share a minimal repository to play with, please?
Thanks

Nested cy.waitUntil calls should work as expected 😉

@JonahKK, up 😉

@NoriSte Sorry about the delay, had a lot on my mind recently. I will try to prepare the example this week.

Perfect, thanks!!! I appreciate it 😊

I have been experimenting with the different setups, trying to reproduce the exact error I've been describing, yet without luck. Obviously I cannot share code from work.
All I have observed was that waitUntil nested inside of another wait can take a lot of time, before the timeout happens. It might work as expected, yet with default timeouts (5 seconds) it takes over 60 seconds to fail!

Maybe I was experiencing this extended wait time, that made me think there is an error - I use bigger timeouts in my production code.

Thanks for the feedback @JonahKK!! 😊

Could you share a repo with this example, please? I didn't notice it in my tests 🤔

Please check the https://github.com/JonahKK/cypress-test-tiny/tree/wait-until. Just open the Cypress runner and launch the spec. The test should timeout after 70 seconds (unless you will be lucky and have a match in the wait 😉)
