Can't read innerHTML from a shadowRoot element in Cypress

I am trying to read the value (innerHTML/innerText) property of an element using the following but I get an empty string. cy.get('#INGLoanRequests-container').shadow().find(Selectors.postCode).invoke('val').then(value => { console.log("post code is " + value) })

where postCode is just a css selector. Upon checking the console I see enter image description here

which means the element is being found but the value is not read. But in firefox dev tools I can access the value of the subject, like so. enter image description here

Kindly if someone can spot what I'm doing wrong here, that'd be great.

cypress javascript

Actually you want

  • .invoke('html') to get .innerHTML
  • .invoke('text') to get .innerText
  • .invoke('val') to get the value property of an <input>

To get the innerHTML value you have to use .invoke('text') -

cy.get('#INGLoanRequests-container').shadow().find(Selectors.postCode).invoke('text').then(value => {
    console.log("post code is " + value)
})
