Cypress entering text into a dynamic ID search box-CodePudding

I am trying to enter text in the search box field however, the search box field only has one selector which has a dynamic ID that is dynamically assigned/ new for every instance.

How do I enter text in the search box field?

CodePudding user response：

You can use the aria-label for this like:

cy.get('input[aria-label="main-search-box-ui-lib-container"]').type('text')

CodePudding user response：

It would make your test more stable if you could add a data-testid to your input. If not, you use an attribute unique to the input it would really depend on your pages' DOM.

Some possibilities.

cy.get('input[placeholder]')
cy.get('input[autocomplete]')
cy.get('input[data-key]')
cy.get('input[value]')
// you can combine the above to make them more unique
