implicit_wait not work when an element could not be located on the page

Running test on android real device with uiautomator2, after init python driver, call /session/:session_id/timeouts/implicit_wait set wait time for 20000ms, when an element not be find in de page, the endpoint “/element” response immediately not wait 20s.

Environment

• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable):1.7.2
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: macOS 10.13.5
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe):v8.11.2
• Mobile platform/version under test: android/5.1.1

Details

firstly, call endpoint /timeouts/implicit_wait set 20000ms, secondly, call endpoint “/element”, finally, the element not located on the page, appium not wait for this element for 20s, and raise Encountered internal error

Hope set implicit_wait time work.
