[Wrapped Error] "Cannot read property 'findAndStoreElements' of undefined"

What are you trying to achieve?

I am trying to fill an input field with some text

What do you get instead?

Details

• CodeceptJS version: v1.1.1
• NodeJS Version: v9.0.0
• Operating System: macOS Sierra
• Nightmare version: v2.10.0
• Configuration file:

helpers: {
        Nightmare: {
            url: ...,
            show: true,
            restart: true,
            typeInterval: 30,
            smartWait: 5000,
            switches: {
                'ignore-certificate-errors': true
            }
        }
    },

If this is strictly a Nightmare related issue(and not a codeceptjs one) I will re-create this ticket in the proper repo.

@reubenmiller thanks a lot. it works for me now with the retry step. 👍 hopefully it will be a solution for the others here too

If anyone else runs into this, I fixed it by adjusting the helper to use const I = inject(); at the beginning instead of setting I in the _init() function within the object. Also needed to update Codecept version as I guess _init() was deprecated and replaced with inject().
