protractor, AssertionError: expected '24' to be a number or a date

i need to check that there are more than twelve elements listed in a page. I did it, but on expectation I have this error:

AssertionError: expected '24' to be a number or a date

Now, 24 is obviously a number, so what is the problem?? Why this assertion error? Can you help me to solve this?

Here my stepdefinition.js

Given('there are more than twelve elements listed', function (next) {
    let listed_count = element(by.css('span[class="total-results"]'));
    listed_count.getText().then(function(text){
            console.log('How much elements?: ', text);
            browser.sleep(1111);
            return expect(text).to.be.above(12);
      })
      next();
});

Thank you.

Solution

  • listed_count.getText() returns text. You need to convert it into number: 

    parseInt(text);
