Testing Exists on WaitAlias Child in Keyword Test

How do you test the exists on a WaitAlias child in a Keyword test? The online example show how to do it in script but I'm moving away from script because changes to mapped object name(s) not refactor...

    You could

    1) Write a library routine to execute this method

    2) Pass the ParentObject and property arrays as parameters.

    3) Call this unit from the keyword tests.

     

    This also eliminates your concern about changes to mapped objects.

    Is a 'library routine' script?

:smileyhappy: Yes it is. But this is a library script so it should not have any direct references to any mapped objects, rather they should be passed as parameters.

      What am I doing wrong? I'm passing the screen objet as the 'AliasObj' parameter.

       

      functionWaitAliasChild(AliasObj, child){
    if (AliasObj.WaitAliasChild(child, 10000).Exists ) 
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}
