i'm seeing the same. collapseAllGroups() and expandAllGroups() both collapse the groups. Angular 5.2.9, ngx-datatable 11.2.0.

A workaround that I found is to simply re-set your rows data. For example, if your rows input property is set as [rows]="items" then just do "this.items = [...this.items]" in your typescript and this seems to expand all row groups.
