API

CDP

CDP example 1

const selector = 'button#one'
cy.CDP('Runtime.evaluate', {
  expression: 'frames[0].document.querySelector("' + selector + '")',
}).should((v) => {
  expect(v.result).to.have.property('objectId')
})

Tip: be careful with selectors, you probably will need to escape them. For example, this library uses this escape

const escapedSelector = JSON.stringify(selector)
cy.CDP('Runtime.evaluate', {
  expression: 'frames[0].document.querySelector(' + escapedSelector + ')',
})

hasEventListeners

hasEventListeners example

// any event listeners are attached
cy.hasEventListeners('button#one')
// "click" event listeners are attached
cy.hasEventListeners('button#one', { type: 'click' })

getCDPNodeId

Returns the internal element's Node Id that can be used to query the run-time properties, for example the rendered font.

cy.getCDPNodeId('body').then((nodeId) => {
  cy.CDP('CSS.getPlatformFontsForNode', {
    nodeId,
  })
})
