Description

There is a grid with grouping feature to test with protractor using ui-grid e2e tests utils. Text at invisible row cells actually equas to empty string: expect(row.element( ... ).getText).toMatch('some value') returns an error Expected [''] to match ['some value']. It works correctly to visible rows.

Research direction
Investigate the ui grid e2e test utilities in the test/e2e/ directory, focusing on the getText method for row cells. The grouping feature creates hidden rows that may not be accounted for. Check if there are any existing workarounds or if the issue was resolved in later versions. The fix likely involves modifying the utility to properly return text for invisible rows.
