i need to parse a string in cypress. i am trying to grab a piece of string with the methods provided by javascript. but it doesn't work gives me an error:

type i have this string:

text2 = "change status id 423 in Cult"
text1 = 423

var id = text2.split (' ')
expect (text1).to.eq(id[3])

how can i do such a thing in cypress. I should take part of a string and pare it but with the split method it gives me an error

below the error returned:

• Edit: First - it seems you arenet selecting any text Second: It seems like it fails because it is a JQuery element. Try using cy.wrap(text2).split(' ')> – Rosen Mihaylov Commented Nov 12, 2020 at 9:26
• @bigeyes What do you get when you use cy.log(text2) – Alapan Das Commented Nov 12, 2020 at 9:35
• I updated the post image @AlapanDas with cy.log(text2) is highlighted in purple – bigeyes Commented Nov 12, 2020 at 9:41
• if i put cy.wrap(text2).split(' ') get the following error cy.wrap(...).split is not a function @RosenMihaylov – bigeyes Commented Nov 12, 2020 at 9:42

You have to use then() instead of should() -

cy.get('p.text-lg').invoke('text').then((text) => {
    var splitText = text.split(' ')[5]
    expect(splitText).to.equal(291)
})
