Cypress finds the element which is a text inside a div but times out – Html

I am facing an issue in Cypress. The CSS locator I am using seems to be correct I can find it when searching it directly in my page. However Cypress is throwing this error

    AssertionError
    Timed out retrying after 30000ms: object tested must be an array, a map, an 
    object, a set, a string, or a weakset, but object given

Here is my locator :

     #verification_center_page_exposure > div:nth-child(4) > div:nth-child(2) > div:nth-child(2)> div:nth-child(3) > div:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(2) > div:nth-child(3) > div:nth-child(2) > div:nth-child(2)

I know that for a table or a list we need to loop through elements but this is a simple nested div I don’t know why Cypress is not able to check this code :side_Bar is referring to the correct locator I have already share above.

const myPage = new myPage(ele)
myPage.go()

      cy.get("#verification_center_page_exposure > div:nth-child(4) > div:nth-child(2) > div:nth-child(2)> div:nth-child(3) > div:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(2) > div:nth-child(3) > div:nth-child(2) > div:nth-child(2)")

        .should('contains', 'expected text')

    It’s just a typo, you forgot to put some brackets on the method call, that is why that particular error occurs (but not very informative).

    Do this way

    myPage.go()
  .side_Bar()
  .should('contains', 'expected text')

    You will need to change the subject from the jQuery object yielded by cy.get(...) to the text within that element.

    If I use this simple HTML

    <div>expected text</div>

    and I run your test

    cy.get('div')
  .should('contains', 'expected text')

    I get the same error:

    Timed out retrying after 4000ms: object tested must be an array, a map, an object, a set, a string, or a weakset, but object given

    but switching to the text content, the test passes

    cy.get('div')
  .invoke('text')
  .should('contains', 'expected text')
