Have you tried calling getTextOfNode instead?

[mohsen1]

I don't see getTextOfNode exported in typescript.d.ts.

@RyanCavanaugh Can you take a look?

@mohsen1 this call stack doesn't look related to what you were describing?

@RyanCavanaugh Not sure how you got Cannot read property 'kind' of undefined Please run yarn test or npm test .

I'm still not able to read text of a synthetically added node.
