Missing 'ELEMENT' when using switchTo().frame() in javascript

I'm using selenium webdriver with javascript on Chrome and I'm trying to interact with an input inside an iframe like so:

      await driver.switchTo().frame(By.xpath('/html/body/div[1]/div/div/form/ng-form/div/ui-view/div/dqcomponent[3]/ng-form/div[1]/div[1]/iframe/html/body/form/input[1]'));

I am able to use .click() on the element just fine but the above line causes the following error:

(node:4514) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: InvalidArgumentError: invalid argument: missing 'ELEMENT'

I have tried switching to the element using CSS but it produces the same error, how can I properly switch to said iframe?

My webdriver version is ^4.0.0-beta.1 and my chrome driver is ^88.0.0"

await driver.switchTo().frame expects an element not locator

Use it like

  Elem = await driver.findElement(By.id("some if"))
  await driver.switchTo().frame(Elem)
