When you call .each(), e.g. on a cy.get() command, it changes the scope for next cy.contains() command.
Possibly affects other commands, and possibly calls other than .each() change the scope, too.
Originally reported here.
describe(`test`, () => {
it(`test`, () => {
cy.document().then(doc => {
doc.body.innerHTML = `
<div class="one"></div>
<div>Search</div>
`;
});
cy.get(`.one`)
// comment this out for the next `cy.contains` to work properly
.each(() => {});
cy.contains(`Search`);
});
});

cypress 3.4.1
@dwelle thanks for reporting this. I can confirm I am seeing the same issue (as per my SO post)
Reproducible example from https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/5163
it('FAILS with contains after each', () => {
cy.visit('https://www.google.com/')
cy.contains('About')
cy.get('input[type="submit"]').each(() => {})
cy.contains('About')
})
it('passes with contains after then', () => {
cy.visit('https://www.google.com/')
cy.contains('About')
cy.get('input[type="submit"]').then(() => { })
cy.contains('About')
})
it('passes with contains after should', () => {
cy.visit('https://www.google.com/')
cy.contains('About')
cy.get('input[type="submit"]').should(() => { })
cy.contains('About')
})
Interesting to note that this seems to happen with custom dual-commands also (aside from just cy.contains() as noted in https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/6550
Another example from https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/6791
it('BUG? - breaks a following contains command', () => {
cy.visit('https://example.cypress.io/commands/connectors')
cy.get('.connectors-each-ul>li').each(() => {})
cy.contains('Chai', { timeout: 10 })
})
The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#8712, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.
Released in 5.4.0.
