Description

I currently need to use 2 lines to wait not the golbal timeout:

text = 'play'
timeout = 30
device(textMatches=text).wait(timeout)
element = self.device(textMatches=text)

Is there a better solution, to wait for element existance ?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a method like `device.wait for element(text, timeout)` that waits for the element and returns it, combining the two steps.
