SwitchTo and element

[samudurand]

Could someone explain to me why this code fails with a null exception when calling the "sendKeys" :

browser.driver.switchTo().frame(element(by.id('someIframeId')));
element(by.id('email')).sendKeys("somevalue");

While this works perfectly :

//Same line
browser.driver.switchTo().frame(element(by.id('someIframeId')));
//Different
browser.driver.findElement(by.id('email')).sendKeys("somevalue");

From what I read in the doc the "element" is the same as "findElement" except that it doesn't search for the element before an action is taken.

I tried using directly '''browser.switchTo''' but same result

My bad the error was simply because the iframe contained a not angular website
