Asserting in Cypress - 'Assert expected <span.text-xogo-grey-light.ml-2> to have value &#-CodePudding

Check Image here

I am trying to assert an element with the value '0' in it but every time I try to use my code I get an error saying that there were no '0' found instead the value was ''.

The HTML element is this:

<span >0</span>

My code is this:

cy.get('span[]').should('have.value','0')

I tried using this:

cy.get('span[]').should('have.value',0)

But did not work. The only thing that worked for me is this:

cy.get('span[]').should('have.value', '')

Here is the full HTML element:

<div ><div>
<span >LIBRARY</span> 
<span >1</span>
</div>
</div>

CodePudding user response：

You are nearly there. have.value asserts the value attribute in your html whereas you are trying to assert the inner text, so have.text should do the job for you.

cy.get('span[]').should('have.text', '1')

CodePudding user response：

It's the same as you used in your previous question

cy.get('.font-semibold')
  .should('have.text', '\n        Got questions? Checkout our Quick Start Guide to see how it all works\n      ')

You seem to have no trouble with the concept, why now?
