when I try to use PHPStorm elementor plugin, and select a locator, nothing happens - however the console output says

Connected. Sending command: browser.get('http://newapp.com');
Elementor is ready!
Popup input [element(by.id('editModeOnButton'))]
Connected. Sending command: element(by.id('editModeOnButton'))

But the popup doesnt get populated... please help

A couple of things may cause this error:

• This is not an angular application. Pass the --nonAngular flag when launching elementor so protractor will not wait for angular to be rady.
• You should select something like by.id('editModeOnButton') or element(by.id('editModeOnButton')).isDisplayed() so protractor will execute your command. An element finder will not execute unless you call a function on it.
