Waiting for failure to validate internal HTML

For some reason, my assertion in protractor fails, what I am trying to do is get innerHTML (text) from the element:

var stuff = $('css').html();

expect (stuff) .toBe ("inner HTML text here");

I confirmed that it $().html()

gives the text I want on the console, what is wrong with my expected operation?

TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'html'

Use getInnerHtml() 

expect($('.your-css').getInnerHtml()).toBe('your inner html');

The error message indicates that whatever "$" object is returned does not have an "html" method.

If you expect "$" to be a jQuery reference, try using "jQuery" explicitly, for example.



var stuff = jQuery('css').html();

Also, I'm not sure if the selector in the above expression is your actual selector, if it is, it is looking for a "css" element that doesn't seem to be correct. You can take a look at this.
