'.should' assertion is not working properly with &nbsp

I am trying to assert that a span has the value “0,00 €” but it seems like it doesn’t work properly cy.get(".shipping_amount").should("have.text","0,00 €");

We could probably document this edge case in our docs to make finding it easier

cy.get(‘.shipping_amount’).invoke(‘text’).then((text) => { // remove the space char expect(text.replace(/\u00a0/g, ’ ')).equal(‘0,00 €’) })

cy.get(‘.shipping_amount’).invoke(‘text’) // remove the space char .invoke(‘replace’, /\u00a0/g, ’ ') .should(‘eq’, ‘0,00 €’) }) — You are receiving this because you were mentioned. Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.

Wrote in the other issue, but here’s how you could write this:

it('text', () => {
  cy.get('.shipping_amount').contains('0,00 €')

  cy.get('.shipping_amount').invoke('text').then((text) => {
    // remove the space char
    expect(text.replace(/\u00a0/g, ' ')).equal('0,00 €')
  })

  cy.get('.shipping_amount').invoke('text')
  // remove the space char
  .invoke('replace', /\u00a0/g, ' ')
  .should('eq', '0,00 €')
})
