Cypress not returning text on any element

[tonibwin]

Current behavior

Note: Might be related to issue:

Cypress's invoke("text") is not returning ANY text from the application that is being tested. Cypress is able to capture and get the element on the page but when invoke("text") is chained afterwards, cypress throws an error. I have gone through the Cypress troubleshooting page and have cleared cache and cy folder but I am still running into this issue. Example below:

html content:

<span data-testid="product-name">Some text...</span>

spec content:

describe('basic test', () => {
  it('testing text', () => {
    cy.visit('https://127.0.0.1:8443/login')
    cy.get("[data-testid='product-name']").invoke("text").then(() => {
      cy.log("this command should run")
    })
  })
})

results:

questions

1. Based on the linked issue, could cypress malfunction, if certificates aren't provided or aren't correctly fetched?
2. Could there be any security settings in my application, that could be causing cypress to not run as expected?

Desired behavior

Cypress should return "Some text..." after invoke("text") function has been executed on previously found element.

Test code to reproduce

html content:

<span data-testid="product-name">Some text...</span>

spec content:

describe('basic test', () => { it('testing text', () => { 
  cy.visit('https://127.0.0.1:8443/login') 
  cy.get("[data-testid='product-name']").invoke("text")
  .then(() => {  
     cy.log("this command should run") }) }) })

Yes, it could be that running your application within an iframe within Cypress environment is causing it to not run as it would in a normal browser. I have a couple of suggestions.

• Try to set modifyObstructiveCode to false
• Try to set chromeWebSecurity to false
• Try to set injectDocumentDomain to true

Independently, each of these changes some ways that Cypress works in the browser that may be impacting your application, but I can't be sure with the information given unfortunately.
