javascript - What is the difference between the isPresent and isDisplayed methods

Question

I just started using Protractor to write tests. I am wondering what the difference is between the isPresent() and isDisplayed() methods.

The API definitions

1. isPresent

2. isDisplayed

So... in what cases are they different?

Answer 1

isPresent is true if element exists in a page (in DOM), but can be hidden (display: none in css) isDisplayed is true only if isPresent is true and element is visible
