fillField returns `unknown error: call function result missing 'value'`

See original GitHub issue

Someone already created a similar ticket on SO (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49175711/q-codeceptjs-unknown-error-call-function-result-missing-value), but there hasn’t been a response, so I’m submitting the issue here as well.

Anytime the WebdriverIO fillField method is used, it errors out with unknown error: call function result missing 'value'. I copied the relevant function in my test and the config file below

loginWith(email, password) {
    I.say(`login with ${email} / ${password}`);
    I.fillField(this.fields.email, email);
    I.fillField(this.fields.password, password);
    I.click(this.submitButton);
}
