    @gray-kilobyte-89541 thank you. Will take a look.
  • g
    is it allowed to have multiple describe in one spec/test file? Thank you
  • f
    I'd suggest using 
    context()
    within your describe block instead
  • g
    how? please provide link. Thanks
  • f
    Easily found in the cypress documentation
  • g
    search the docs for "organize tests"
  • g
    yes, I already saw it. Thanks for your help

    hi everyone .. i need a small help .. how can i access value of this element? <td _ngcontent-sla-a115 class="text-center ng-star-inserted" data-field="{ { "column": "RULE_33", "id": 123, "value": true, "label": "test label" }
  • c
    i am trying to check if the value = true
  • f
    .invoke('val')
    or 
    .its('value')
    one of those should work
  • c
    thanks @fresh-doctor-14925 .. let me try that
  • f
    You could also just do 
    .should('have.value', true)
    That's the cleanest way imo
  • c
    thank you very much @fresh-doctor-14925 I tried .invoke('value') .should('be.true) but i am getting this error .. Timed out retrying after 30000ms: cy.invoke() errored because the property: value does not exist on your subject.
  • f
    I edited that response and offered some other suggestions
  • c
    ok let me try the .its('value')
  • c
    with .its('value) .. its.value assertexpected undefined to be true
  • c
    for some reason, it is not working with the above 3 solutions
  • f
    It sounds to me like you're not getting the element correctly, especially if 
    .should('have.value', true)
    isn't working
  • c
    there are more than 100 td elements .. i am reaching target td with cy.get and then .eq(123) .. in the test runner if i hover mouse over the .eq(123) .. i see it is highlighting the correct td
  • c
    also, the code i pasted above is at .eq(123) level .. it is not nested in some child element
  • f
    what happens if you do
    Copy code
    .eq(123)
.its('data-field')
    Looking again at your code, I think you need to get the contents of that attribute, and then do an assertion on the object
  • c
    sorry Liam .. what do you mean by get the contents of that attribute?
  • c
    Timed out retrying after 30000ms: cy.its() errored because the property: column does not exist on your subject. cy.its() waited for the specified property column to exist, but it never did.
  • c
    i tried with .its('column')
  • f
    Like with 
    class
    , 
    data-field
    is something that you should be able to access with 
    its()
  • t
    The data-field attribute holds a json string. I guess he should do something like 
    cy.get(...).its('data-field').then(field => JSON.parse(field).value).should('be.true')
    . Not sure though if 
    .its('data-field')
    will work though as that is not a DOM property of input.
  • f
    It might also be possible to do a 
    .should('deep.include', { 'value': true })
    Instead of the JSON parsing
  • t
    .its('dataset.field')
    might work btw
  • g
    can you open DevTools and paste exactly what the element's HTML is? Or a screenshot. Like it has a 
    data-field
    attribute with stringified JSON object?
