What is the difference between exists and assert exists

dashboard

Hi

Can anyone explain the difference between the api's exists() and assertExists();

Because
_exists(_button("Download Trial" )); gives success wheras
_assertExists(_button("Download Trial" )); gives failure in my website.

Hi Uday,

_exists() checks for the existence of the element and returns true if element exists on the page.
_assertExists() will do nothing if the element exists and log failures to the playback logs if the element does not exist.
