Identify element is not present selenium webdriver javascript

Question

I have tried various techniques to assert that an element is not present in Selenium javascript But to no avail, I cant assert of the findElements.length function is the closest I have gotten.

   const noofElements = driver.findElements(By.css("#foo")).then(elements => console.log(elements.length));

   assert.strictEqual(noofElements, 0);  

I can spit out the result of the findelements.length but cant assert against it. I have also tried with .size but that is not an option.

Answer 1

   const noofElements = driver.findElements(By.css("#foo")).then(elements => assert.strictEqual(elements.length, 0));
  

Or

 const noofElements = await driver.findElements(By.css("#foo")).length
  assert.strictEqual(elements.length, 0));

You should assert it inside the then or use await ,
