Config of WebdriverIO

exports.config = {
    runner: 'local',
    host:'localhost',
    port: 9515,
    path: '/',
    specs: [
        './test/specs/test.js'
    ],
    maxInstances: 10,
    capabilities: [{
        maxInstances: 5,

    }
}

Describe the bug

• The test got failed
• There is no tracing for related error bug I could see it stopped at the getElementRect

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

describe('Explore WebdriverIO v5', () => {

  it('getElementRect should work', () => {
    browser.url('http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/drag_and_drop')
    $('#column-a').waitForEnabled(30000);
    let column_a = $('#column-a')
    let column_b = $('#column-b')

    const sourceRect = browser.getElementRect(column_a.elementId)
    console.log(sourceRect);
  })
})

Expected behavior
Should see element rect, the test should not failed
