waitForElementPresent() exits with error code 10 when used in promise function (async/await style)

[pawlakmaly]

I need a help with my code.

import { NightwatchBrowser } from 'nightwatch';


function worksOk(browser:NightwatchBrowser) {
    return browser.waitForElementPresent("someElement");
}

function workNotOk(browser: NightwatchBrowser) {
    return new Promise<void>((resolve) => {
        browser.waitForElementPresent("someElement");
        resolve();
    })
}


module.exports = {
    after(browser: NightwatchBrowser) {
        browser.end()
    },
    "someTest": async function (browser: NightwatchBrowser) {
        await browser.url('https://www.ecosia.org/')
        // await worksOk(browser); // exits with error code 5, report created
        await workNotOk(browser);  // exits with error code 10, no report
    }
};

When I call waitForElementPresent inside a function that returning a Promise I correctly see in logs that element was not found but the runner ends up with error code 10 and no report is generated.

But when the function simply returns

What am I missing ? Could someone explain me what I'm doing wrong or is it a bug in Nightwatch runner ?
