Kinda using something like this in many of my scripts (jscript), which works like a charm and you're able to give a maximum waiting time.

 

 

function WaitForObject(Object, MaxWait)
{ 
  for (var i=0;i<MaxWait;i++)
  {
    if (Object.Exists)
    {
      if (Object.VisibleOnScreen && Object.Enabled)
      {
        Log.Message("Object found & enabled on screen!");
        return Object;
      }
    }
  }

  Log.Error("Object not found in max number of iterations!");
  return false;
}

How do you guys handle errors that go to the Log?

I would love to see my test green, but with checking while an element is visible or not visible I am getting this red error signs there, while overall test passes.
