Question 210781 in Javascript Question posted in
A very good W3school tutorial can be found here.

Javascript – How can I create OR operator in Cypress?

I need to check if the input element has one of 3 values as I am automating AI feautre and it sometimes generates random text, but still uses at least one value.

So I need to check if input has A or B or C value, one of this values

How can I do this?

Tried this from one of questions here –

cy.get('section div:nth-child(4)').invoke('text').then((text) => {
 expect(text).not.equal(companyNameText);
 expect(text).not.equal(descriptionText);
 expect(text).not.equal(purposeText);
})

Does not work in my case

    You an use Chai’s oneOf method to achieve this. There is a caveat from the docs:

    Asserts that the target is a member of the given array list. However, it’s often best to assert that the target is equal to its expected value.

    cy.get('section div:nth-child(4)').invoke('text').then((text) => {
  expect(text).to.be.oneOf(
    [companyNameText, descriptionText, purposeText]
  );
});

    You are testing using expect(...).not.equal(...) on all three strings, which results in the opposite test.

    Instead you can use string comparison and OR operator,

    cy.get('section div:nth-child(4)').invoke('text').then((text) => {
  const matches = (text === companyNameText) ||
    (text === descriptionText) ||
    (text === purposeText);
  expect(matches).to.eq(true)
})

    Another way is Array.includes

    cy.get('section div:nth-child(4)').invoke('text').then((text) => {
  const validStrings = [companyNameText, descriptionText, purposeText]
  const matches = validStrings.includes(text)
  expect(matches).to.eq(true)
})

    or a variation with .to.include() matcher

    cy.get('section div:nth-child(4)').invoke('text').then((text) => {
  const validStrings = [companyNameText, descriptionText, purposeText]
  expect(validStrings ).to.include(text)
})

    Even more, it’s possible to use cy.contains() with a RegExp that has OR operator built in

    const regex = new RegExp(`${companyNameText}|${descriptionText}|${purposeText}`);
cy.contains('section div:nth-child(4)', regex)

    Another one, with .should()

    cy.get('section div:nth-child(4)')
  .should('have.any.text', (companyNameText, descriptionText, purposeText))
