Grid with grouping functionality can't be correctly tested by protractor

[vinograt]

There is a grid with grouping feature to test with protractor using ui-grid e2e tests utils. Text at invisible row cells actually equas to empty string:
expect(row.element( ... ).getText).toMatch('some value') returns an error Expected [''] to match ['some value'].
It works correctly to visible rows.

I know this is an old issue but has anyone had success with using protractor to test against a grid using grouping? We are able to access the cell data via row/col indexes - which works fine against our other grids that don't have grouping.
