    gotcha, i think i'll look into doing that
  • i
    im wondering if the selector is applied after the text search, purely as a way of traversing back up the hierarchy after finding the first element with the containing text
  • a
    Very possible.
  • a
    Even though it's listed first, it might be interpreted as an options modifier and since the string match has already happened on the wrong element, it might cause the whole thing to fail.
  • i
    the docs say "Specify a selector to filter DOM elements containing the text. Cypress will ignore its default preference order for the specified selector. Using a selector allows you to return more shallow elements (higher in the tree) that contain the specific text." but its not as clear as I would like
  • a
    Seems to me that 
    cy.contains
    with a selector included should be interpreted as a 
    cy.get().contains()
    chain under the hood.
  • i
    i'll check if a 
    cy.get().contains()
    chain works as expected tomorrow and post a github issue accordingly
  • i
    at the very least i hope the docs can be improved here
  • i
    thx for the discussion
  • a
    Agreed
  • a
    Yeah good bug hunt.

    Hey Im forced to use 
    cy.get(selector).find(selector)
    to get elements, now sometimes I executes some assertions such as 
    cy.get(selector).find(selector).should("have.length, 0")
    or 
    .should("not.exists")
    but its like 
    .find
    does not act like 
    .get
    in terms of what it yields, which causes code like this 
    cy.get(selector).find(selector).should("have.length, 0")
    to fail because he couldn't find any element

    Hello I'm new to the cypress and I'm trying to write some basic tests for my Hangman js/html/css project. The goal I'm trying to achive is to run getWord() function and work with the word (press buttons that contain Letters in word and win the game). Unfortunately As I try command var name = getWord() I got an error saying getWord is not defined. I tried to include ./Hangman.js file (whole logic is here including specific function) but was unsuccessful. Can anyone help me please? Thank a lot
  • g
    Can you add the code? you are probably importing it wrong
  • e
    Sure, this is code for test
  • e
    And this is code for Hangman.js
  • g
    are you trying to do unit tests or e2e tests?
  • g
    because its looks like you mixing it up, I mean is that you are calling inner function in the application but using the 
    cy.visit
    command
  • g
  • g
    but simply you get getWord is not defined because you dont not export your fucntions, you should use 
    mouse.exports
  • e
    Thank you, I will check the link you provided. Regarding to mouse.exports where exactly should I use this command?
  • g
    yeah sorry, meant 
    module.exports
    you can add code like this in the file:
    Copy code
    module.exports = {
  getWord
}
    also you are not importing correctly, you should use 
    import {getWord} from "/Hangman"
  • g
    but you should decide if you want to e2e or unit test
