Hello, I meet a big problem with Cypress sometimes. To avoid duplication code I’ve made a method that should return a value that I get like that :

getTextValueFromElement(){
  let text;
  cy.get('elementClass').then($element => {text = $element.text()}
  return text;
}

But I meet this error message sometimes :

Im very noob at Cypress so I cant promise I can answer followup questions. Perhaps you can try to use cy.wrap around it, then later use the value like this

getTextValueFromElement(){
  let text;
  cy.get('elementClass').then($element => {text = $element.text()}
  return cy.wrap(text);
}

cy.getTextValueFromElement("element").then(data => {
     // Do whatever you need to do with data
})

I did some tricky thing with cy.wrap() that seem to works but, in my mind, it’s not the most understandable thing to do. It should be nice that Cypress allow us to return, by forcing it, a synchronous value

Think: can you return both the promise and a value from it? No. You can to write simpler tests: use https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-map

I will take a look at it ! Thanks 🙏🏻
