chai-webdriver uses a .dom flag to start the assertion chain, like this:
expect(...).dom.to.be.there
This library was originally designed without that, because it's a somewhat awkward token, syntactically. However, there are 2 good reasons for having some such unique flag to start the chain:
It namespaces the assertions. If we had such a flag, we could use any name for our assertions (including exist, which we had to avoid, and call there)
When chai-webdriverio is not defined, it would cause the test to fail even if the assertion is called without parenthesis. Without it, you can call .visible outside the scope of chai-webdriverio and have no failure, because .visible just returns undefined, like this: False Positives #37
Possible names for this flag:
.dom (to match 'chai-webdriverio`)
.wdio
.elements
.element (potentially, we could offer both elements and element, and use the respective webdriverio method)
.html ... ? This isn't quite right - I'm basically out of ideas that actually make sense 😉
