$.getWrappedElement() should not wait for timeout if element does not exist

the subj method is implemented based on the command:

public class ToWebElement implements Command<WebElement> {
  @Override
  public WebElement execute(SelenideElement proxy, WebElementSource locator, Object[] args) {
    return locator.getWebElement();
  }
}

this command will fail if element does not exist… and will be retried inside “the only one logic of SelenideElementProxy invocation of all commands”:

class SelenideElementProxy implements InvocationHandler {
//...

  @Override
  public Object invoke(Object proxy, Method method, Object... args) throws Throwable {
    if (methodsToSkipLogging.contains(method.getName()))
      return Commands.getInstance().execute(proxy, webElementSource, method.getName(), args);

    validateAssertionMode(config());

    long timeoutMs = getTimeoutMs(method, args);
    long pollingIntervalMs = getPollingIntervalMs(method, args);
    SelenideLog log = SelenideLogger.beginStep(webElementSource.getSearchCriteria(), method.getName(), args);
    try {
      Object result = dispatchAndRetry(timeoutMs, pollingIntervalMs, proxy, method, args);
      SelenideLogger.commitStep(log, PASS);
      return result;
    }
    catch (Error error) {
      Error wrappedError = UIAssertionError.wrap(driver(), error, timeoutMs);
      SelenideLogger.commitStep(log, wrappedError);
      if (config().assertionMode() == SOFT && methodsForSoftAssertion.contains(method.getName()))
        return proxy;
      else
        throw wrappedError;
    }
    catch (RuntimeException error) {
      SelenideLogger.commitStep(log, error);
      throw error;
    }
  }
// ...
}

but it should not… We should have a raw interface to original Selenium WebDriver WebElement without any waiting logic…

I suggest that both methods should NOT wait. They are rather synonyms. Otherwise it’s too hard to keep the difference in mind.

I don’t see any reasons why someone would need the “waiting” here.
