Dear Cypress,

I am having trouble finding any mentioning of testing the HEAD content, besides the title. Specifically, check the META DESCRIPTION?

Highly appreciate if you point me to a doc page.

Thank you!

You should be able to access anything on the document as described here https://docs.cypress.io/api/commands/document.html#Examples

@bkucera Thank you, Ben, it wasn't clear to me from reading the docs. Now, after your explanation, I've got this working example:

it("works!", () => {
    cy.visit("/");
    cy.document().get('head meta[name="description"]')
      .should("have.attr", "content", "Here goes the description...");
});

As correctly noticed by @bkucera below, this should be simplified as follows:

it("works!", () => {
    cy.visit("/");
    cy.get('meta[name="description"]')
      .should("have.attr", "content", "Here goes the description...");
});

@tivnet the cy.document() is not actually doing anything in this case, since a cy.get will always act as if it is a new chain off of cy. You can just change your code to

cy.get('head meta[name="description"]')
    .should("have.attr", "content", "Here goes the description...");

Indeed. Do not know why it did not work for me. Do not even need the "head" part.

Thank you!
