Extending our ES module helper file with a custom click method

There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.

– Allen J. Perlis

Our third option is to create a click() method in the helpers file. While it changes our signature, it allows us more control to recover from issues with elements:

await helpers.clickAdv(this.btnSubmit);
await helpers.clickAdv(this.btnBogus);

The output now looks like this:

[0-0] ---> Clicking button[type="submit"] ...
[0-0] --->   button clicked.
[0-0] --->   pageSync() completed in 25 ms
[0-0] ---> Clicking button[type="bogus"] ...
[0-0] --->   button[type="submit"] was not clicked.
[0-0] Error: Can't call click on element with selector "button[type="bogus"]" because element wasn't found

Quick tip

Unlike many coding conventions, there is no common approach for naming wrapper methods...
