element.find() cause memory leak when using custom command inside page specified command

[Terence625]

Description of the bug/issue

I'm using custom command inside page specified command, I pass "@searchBar" page element to custom command argument selector and in the custom command, I use this.api.element.find(by.css(selector)). This will cause memory leak. Can git clone the sample repo, and run in local to reproduce. I think I shouldn't use by.css() to wrap the page element, but at least can throw some errors

Steps to reproduce

git clone https://github.com/Terence625/nightwatch-test.git

Sample test

// googlePage.ts
const googleCommands = {
  searchFor: function (this: NightwatchClient, searchTerm: string) {
    return this.search("@searchBar", searchTerm);
  },
};

module.exports = {
  url: "https://google.com",
  commands: [googleCommands],
  elements: {
    searchBar: "textarea[name=q]",
  },
};

// search.ts
export default class Search {
  async command(this: NightwatchClient, selector: string, searchTerm: string) {
    await this.api.element(by.css(selector)).setValue(searchTerm);
  }
}

// google.ts
const home: NightwatchTests = {
  "Google search test": async() => {
    const google = browser.page.googlePage();

    await google.searchFor("nightwatch");
  },
};

export default home;

Command to run

npx nightwatch nightwatch/google.ts --verbose

### Verbose Output

```fundamental
→ Running command: search ({name, __index, __selector, locateStrategy, pseudoSelector, parent, resolvedElement, abortOnFailure, suppressNotFoundErrors, timeout...}, 'nightwatch')
 
 → Running command: element.find ()
