Welcome to the seventh post in a monthly series that summarises the happenings in the world of Nightwatch and helps you test better.
Over the last month, we have been working hard on getting our V3 closer to a release! In the latest release, we have added a new Element API for finding elements on the page. This allows you to be much more granular when finding elements with all the usual flake prevention code you have become used to in Nightwatch!
Below are a few example tests from our community repository.
We have also released a new plugin to go with V3 that allows you to use Stubs, Spies, and Mocks. This exposes sinon.js to your tests so that you can manipulate objects. Below are different examples of how to use them in a test.
If you have been using Nightwatch to test your Angular site we have added support to do component testing with our new plugin. If you are starting a new project and use our Schematics project, this will automatically be added to your `nightwatch.conf.js` file.
Tests are nice and succinct and run with the Webpack Dev Server delivering the component to the test.
Selenium Conf happened a couple of weeks ago and our own David Burns spoke there. Watch the video to learn why we value using real browsers and mobile browsers rather than browser engines

We have done a number of significant updates and releases across the various projects we manage. Make sure you update to the latest versions! We have a number of great features coming over the next month.
