Protractor: element.getText() returns an object bu

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• Protractor: element.getText() returns an object and not String 3 answers

I have also checked link: Protractor: element.getText() returns an object and not String but i found no answer for that on above link and i want string in return??

Answer 1

All the protractor's methods return promises, to resolve that promise you need to send something like this:

element.getText().then(function(text) {
console.log(text);
});
or use "expect"-->jasmine's assertion
expect(element.getText()).toEqual("Your Text");
