Failed to trigger mouseover and mouseout events in IE11 in WebdriverIO

Injecting a JavaScript fragment to trigger the mouseover and mouseout events. Works well with Chrome, Firefox, and Safari (both locally and remotely).

In IE11, I can verify that it works in the console. But trying to automate it, an error occurs:

JavaScript error (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

Usage: WebdriverIO - version 4.6.2

Code snippet :

 hoverOnChart: function(chartID, index) {
        browser.execute((chartID, index) => {
            $(`${chartID} g.amcharts-graph-column:nth-child(${index})`).trigger("mouseover");
        }, chartID, index);
    }
