protratcor : Issue with using executescript to execute javascript on an element

Question

I have written below code to execute javascript on an element. The code is as below:

 this.executeScript = function(locatorType, locatorValue, script){
        var element = this.getElement(locatorType, locatorValue);
        try{
            browser.executeScript(script, element);
        }
        catch(e){
        }
    };

I am calling this from a function in page script as below:

this.clickLoginButton = function(){     elementController.executeScript(commonFunction.getValueFromJson(elementLandingPage,'landingPage.loginButton.locator'),
            commonFunction.getValueFromJson(elementLandingPage,'landingPage.loginButton.value'),"arguments[0].click();");
    };  

On executing the test script using protractor nothing happens on web page. Other functions like entering username and password are also not working. While clicking on element using direct click API of webdriver is working fie for me. This issue only occurs when I try to execute javascript .

Following error is shown on command prompt after long wait:

Can someone let me know solution for this.

Changing browser.executeScript(script, element); to browser.executeScript(script, element.getWebElement()); solved the problem.

Correct code is as below:

this.executeScript = function(locatorType, locatorValue, script){
        var element = this.getElement(locatorType, locatorValue);
        try{
            browser.executeScript(script, element.getWebElement());
        }
        catch(e){
        }
};
