I just wanted to point out that if you have something like this:

element(by.model('someModel')).sendKeys('some value');
expect(by.model('someModel').getText()).toMatch('some value');

will fail!

  • What is "someModel"? getText() works for me. But probably doesn't work in inputs. Have you tried this? expect(element(by.css('input[name="something"]')).getAttribute('value')).toMatch('some value'); – hhaamm Oct 07 '15 at 12:48
  • `someModel` is the value of an element's `ng-model` angular attribute. Regarding the latter part of your comment - see the solution I provided below. – Kevin Friedheim Oct 07 '15 at 18:19
  • when working with inputs don't use get text use getAttribute – Evan Burbidge Jan 04 '16 at 10:12

This is because getText() will return an empty string - no matter what!

Instead, you should use: 

expect(element(by.model('someModel')).getAttribute('value')).toMatch('some value');
