I stumbled upon this error when doing integration tests with NightwatchJS (which uses selenium).

So I'm writing this for people coming here in the future.

I wrote this extension command for nightwatch:

exports.command = function (selector, value, using) {
    var self = this;
    self.elements(using || 'css selector', selector, function (elems) {
        elems.value.forEach(function (element) {
            for (var c of value.split('')) {
                self.elementIdValue(element.ELEMENT, c);
            }
        });
    });
    return this;
};

Which can be used in this way:

var username = 'integration@test.com';
browser.setValueSlow('input[ngcontrol=username]', username); //Works with ng2!

This issue was also discussed on NightwatchJS's github here
