How to validate all column headers of Angular Grid in Protractor test if headers span past the width of the screen?

I am trying to write a Protractor test for the below requirement in my Angular app:

I am trying to validate the text of all column headers in my Angular grid below:

myPage.column_headers
      .map(function (header) {
          return header.getText()
      }).then(function (headers) {
    expect(headers).toEqual(['Column1', 'Column2', 'Column3', 'Column4', 'Column5', 'Column6']);
});

When I run this, I get the below console error:

Expected $.length = 3 to equal 6.
Expected $[0] = 'Col1' to equal 'Column1'.
Expected $[1] = 'Col2' to equal Column2'.
Expected $[2] = 'Col3' to equal 'Column3'.
Expected $[3] = undefined to equal 'Column4'.
Expected $[4] = undefined to equal 'Column5'.
Expected $[5] = undefined to equal 'Column6'.

As a real-time user, when I navigate to the page, only 3 of the columns are immediately visible to the user.

To see the other 3 columns, you would need to scroll across the page / grid, so I am wondering if that is why this test is failing with the above error.

If that is the case, can someone please tell me what changes I need to make so that I can validate all of the column headers within the Angular grid?

if elements are in DOM but not present, you should use .getAttribute('innerText') instead of .getText()

if element are not in DOM, then you have to scroll to these elements. A request will be sent, and when resolved you can get their text value.
