Research direction

Start by reproducing the custom helper setup and the I.fillField(selector, value) call described in the issue across the upgrade from version 2 to 3. Trace whether the test-file call reaches the custom helper or Puppeteer’s fillField directly; done means the custom helper is dispatched and its Tab and AJAX-wait behavior runs.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

stale

created custom helper and added async function as below:

async fillField(selector, value) {
await this.puppeteer.fillField(element, value)
await this.puppeteer.page.keyboard.press("Tab")
// function to wait for ajax Load
}

Calling fillField in test files

I.fillField(selector, value) --> Its calling await this.puppeteer.fillField(element, value) instead of custom helper function
