title: Protractor: element.getText() returns an object and not String
body: <p>I have an element defined as </p>
  
  <pre><code>this.clientRowName = element(by.id('CLIENT_NAME')); //page object file
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to read the text in this element which is "ABC" but doing:
      var client = page.clientRowName.getText(); </p>
  
  <p>returns an object instead of a string. Is there any other way that I can get the text for the element</p>
