dragAndDrop NOT working on Chrome - angularjs

Question

I am trying to perform a Drag and Drop operation on our Angular application using Protractor Jasmine. I am able to get hold of the source item but as the test runs, the source element gets selected but nothing happens thereafter; the drag and drop operation does not take place. There are no errors shown in the console.
An interesting thing about the destination container is that the items dropped here can be resized as per user wish. Also, there is no clearly marked place/area in the destination container where the dragged item will get dropped! But the container does have an ID; though that has still not helped here.
Here is the code:
let dragAndDrop = require('html-dnd').code;
.
.
.
function dragAndDropListItems(fdIndex: number): void {
let dragElement = element.all(by.repeater('listDefinition in lists')).get(fdIndex); // Select the first repeater corresponding to the first List Item in the list
let dragElementh5 = dragElement.all(by.css('a')).get(0); // Select the first List Item
let printFD = dragElementh5.getText().then((text: string) => {
console.log(text); // Print the innerHTML text from the chosen List Item to the Console
});
let finalDrop = element.all(by.css('[id="dashboardContainerDiv"]')).get(0);
dragElement.click();
browser.actions().dragAndDrop(dragElement, finalDrop).perform();
};
I have tried using coordinate based DragNDrop operation as well but the same in every case.
Other tried options include:
//browser.executeScript(dragAndDrop, dragElement, finalDrop); // Perform the drag and drop operation
//browser.driver.actions().dragAndDrop(dragElement, finalDrop).perform();
//browser.actions().dragAndDrop(dragElement, { x: 400, y: 400 }).perform();
// browser.driver.actions().mouseDown(dragElement).mouseMove(finalDrop).mouseUp(finalDrop).perform();
Kindly suggest a solution to this issue.
#FlorentB. I have attached the Code with your scripts imported.
let JS_DRAG_DROP = require('./drag-drop.js');
function dragAndDropListItems(fdIndex: number): void {
/*
let source = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#drag")
target = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#drop")
driver.execute_async_script(JS_DRAG_DROP, source, target)
# drag and drop an element by offset {x:500, y:200}
source = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#drag")
driver.execute_async_script(JS_DRAG_DROP, source, None, 500, 200)
# drag and drop an element with a delay of 101ms before the drop
source = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#drag")
target = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#drop")
driver.execute_async_script(JS_DRAG_DROP, source, target, 0, 0, 101)
*/
let source = element.all(by.repeater('listDefinition in
lists')).get(fdIndex); // Select the first repeater corresponding to the
first List Item in the list
let dragElementh5 = source.all(by.css('a')).get(0); // Select the first List
Item
let printFD = dragElementh5.getText().then((text: string) => {
console.log(text); // Print the innerHTML text from the chosen List Item
to the Console
});
//browser.driver.switchTo().frame('dashboardContainerDiv');
/*
let finalDropClass = element.all(by.css('[class="dashboard mb10"]')).get(0);
let finalDropCon =
finalDropClass.all(by.css('[id="dashboardContainerDiv"]')).get(0);
let finalDrop =
finalDropCon.all(by.css('[id="dashboardContainerUl"]')).get(0);
*/
let target = element.all(by.css('[id="dashboardContainerDiv"]')).get(0);
//dragElement.click();
browser.executeScript(JS_DRAG_DROP, source, target); // Perform the drag and
drop operation
//browser.actions().dragAndDrop(dragElement, finalDrop).perform();
//browser.driver.actions().dragAndDrop(dragElement, finalDrop).perform();
//browser.actions().dragAndDrop(dragElement, { x: 400, y: 400 }).perform();
// browser.driver.actions().mouseDown(dragElement).mouseMove(finalDrop).mouseUp(finalDrop).perform();
};

Try

Installing it and using the typescript example worked for me.
