Protractor- getText() showing error in async/await - selenium-webdriver

Question

Failing to perform getText() and use in expect condition using async/await. Following is the it block
it('Apply permission to a folder', async () => {
await docsHomePage.clickProject();
await projectsPage.projectCreateNewFolderAndSelect("AutoProject");
await projectsPage.uploadFile('Aug2017.pdf');
//uploadMessageElement = await projectsPage.getFileUploadSuccessMessage();
let uploadMessageText = element(by.id('projects-upload-success-new'));
expect(await uploadMessageText.getText()).toEqual('1 new Document created sucessfully');
await projectsPage.clickFileUploadSuccessCloseButton();
});
Getting the following error:

Getting similar issue when we tried to create a page-object.

It's your console.log which is causing the issue. If you want to print the text you will need to await uploadMessageText.getText() there also.
This will likely be easier for you
let uploadMessageText = await element(by.id('projects-upload-success-new')).getText()
console.log('-----------------------------------'+uploadMessageText);
expect(uploadMessageText).toEqual('1 new Document created sucessfully');
