Reset to default 6I think this:
expect(messagesDiv.getText()).toBe('');
should do the trick. More information here.
Try
expect (messagesDiv.text).toBe('')
expect(messagesDiv.getText()).toMatch(/^\s*$/); will handle spaces, tabs, line breaks, etc. that HTML treats as empty but really might not be in the raw HTML.
