In protractor 2.0, I am checking in a expect() if one element is displayed. I expect a false, but the weird thing is that I get following error:

NoSuchElementError: No element found using locator: By.id("userForm")

My code is:

describe('closeModal', function() {
    it('should close the alert that appears after registration.', function(){
        element(by.id('closeAlertModalButton')).click();
        expect(element(by.id('userForm')).isDisplayed()).toBeFalsy();
    });
});

I understand that I get that error because element is not longer on the page (is what I want to confirm), but shouldn't I get a false and not a error?

isDisplayed() would check if an element is visible or not, but you need to check whether an element is present in DOM or not, use isElementPresent() or isPresent():

expect(browser.isElementPresent(element(by.id('userForm')))).toBe(false);
expect(element(by.id('userForm')).isPresent()).toBe(false);
