how to get the text of a href in an element using protractor?

The element I have located here in Chrome dev tools looks like this.

<a href="gumby/ui/gumbies/579" title="Mr McGoo meet, Gumby" class="ng-binding">PlayDoh met Mr Potato    Head</a>

how to I get the string "gumby/ui/gumbies/579" out of it using protractor?

tried everything using getText(), getAttribute('href') doesn't seem to work for me.

thanks!

There's another way to get text of an anchor tag and then clicking it element(by.partialLinkText('PlayDoh met Mr Potato Head')).click();

getAttribute('href') is correct, but did you tried using it on the correct element, like this:

element(by.cssContainingText("a","PlayDoh metMrPotatoHead")).getAttribute('href')
