I have a set of tests where I need to login and then perform a search.
My Application is an Angular JS and I am suing protractor.
In fact, my tests where working fine until I receive a new kit of my application and all my tests are failing at this point :

 element(by.id('mainGlobalSearchBtn')).sendKeys('a');

Here is my console output :

1) change number of items displayed by page should display 20 items per page

I would add that protractor is not able to click/enter text in any of my web element after logging in.

Here is my search form HTML :

<form class=ng-pristine ng-valid id=mainSearchGroup name=mainSearchGroup>

    <div id=mainSearch>

        <input class=ng-pristine ng-valid id=mainGlobalSearch name=

    mainGlobalSearch placeholder=Schedule workflows, name... type=

    text>



        <div id=mainSearchIn style=background-image: url( title=

    Filter by...>

        <div class=word-ellipsis ng-binding id=mainSearchInText>

            All

        </div>



        <div id=mainSearchInRightGrayBorder></div>



        <div id=mainSearchInBox style=></div>

    </div>



    <div class=ng-binding id=mainGlobalSearchBtn>

        <div class=clear></div>

      </div>

     </div>

</form>
