Using before in expect assertions considers the default timeout value 'waitForConditionTimeout' even when a timeout value has been specified in the command

[rachna86]

Nightwatch version: 0.8.6
The following command:
Test:

module.exports = {
    "Test 1": function (browser) {
        browser.url('https://www.google.com');
        browser.expect.element('#myelement').to.be.visible.before('10000'); 
    }
}

waitForConditionTimeout = 5000

Log output:
