Cannot get element via name

See original GitHub issue

I have an array of input elements, for inputting an address.

I am trying to get the first input, to type in an address.

cy.get('[name=street[0]]').type('123 Townsville'); // doesn't work
cy.get('[name=street[]]').type('123 Townsville'); // doesn't work
cy.get('[name=street]').type('123 Townsville'); // doesn't work

Before anyone mentions using a data attribute, or adding a class etc - I am dealing with the markup with out-of-the-box Magento and I am not interested in changing it just to pass the tests. It should work using the test I have written.

cy.get('[name="street[0]"]') works for me against the following html: <input type="text" name="street[0]">, can you verify that this is the html that is rendered to the page?

Including the double-quotes was the key.
