Nightwatch commands in `waitUntil` callback return `NightwatchAPI` instead of a `Promise`.

You can use this example test to reproduce this:

describe('ecosia demo', function() {
  before(() => {
    browser
      .navigateTo('https://ecosia.org/');
  });

  it('waitUntil callback demo', function() {
    browser
      .waitUntil(async function() {
        const title = await browser.getTitle();
        console.log(title); // <-- returns NightwatchAPI

        return true;
      })
      .perform(async function() {
        const title = await browser.getTitle();
        console.log(title); // <-- returns correct result (title)
      });
  });
});

Yeah, it didn't for this particular case. But if you change the line it('waitUntil callback demo', function() { to it('waitUntil callback demo', async function() { in the example test (notice the added async before function definition), it will work correctly.

I am looking into this issue

@garg3133 Can I get the full script so I can test it locally?

@garg3133 I was able to reproduce the problem. Thanks.

Here is an update: I have regressed to previous versions of Nightwatchjs, all the way back to 3.1.0, and I get the same error. It appears waitUntil never really worked as expected 🤔

Exactly, I just observed that.

As a contrast, in the perform function, I removed async/await and made it non-async and I get the same error. That is, the Nightwatch API.

I am woking on this issue and was able to reproduce it.
Looking forward to solve it .
