What is the difference between get and contain in Cypress?

Hey Ana,

Both Cypress methods provide the same functionality, but there are some distinct features between these functions.

  • get: The get command retrieves DOM elements that match a specific selector. It returns a jQuery object containing the matched elements.

  • contains: The contains command finds elements that contain specific text. It is often used in conjunction with get-to-find elements based on both their selector and their text content.
