Below is my html for a dropdown control:

I want to verify that drop down has following items: ["5","15","30","45"]

I have written following piece of code:

value=["5","15","30","45"]
cy.get(seelctor).invoke('val').should('deep.equal', value)

I do not want to select all of these items just want to verify that drop down has them. Also, My html does not has the value attribute. How do i assert based on text ??

Reset to default 4

The values between tags like <li>15</li> are accessed on individual element with .invoke('text').

invoke('val') is for <input> and <textarea> elements.

But if you select multiple elements, the texts will mash together

cy.get('li')                  // multiple elements selected
  .invoke('text')             // joins all text together, result is "5153045"
  .should('eq', '5153045')    // passes

In your case it's ok, but feels a little clumsy. In another scenario you can get additional white space between texts which makes it harder to pare.

You can use jQuery to extract individual texts, and they can be trimmed to make a better match when extra white-space is present

cy.get('li')                                            
  .then($els => Cypress.$.map($els, (el) => el.innerText.trim())) // uses jQuery .map()
  .should(values => {
    expect(values).to.deep.eq(["5","15","30","45"])
  })

But if your dropdown items are fetched from an API, you should put as much of the calculation as possible inside the .should() callback, because Cypress retries until passing

cy.get('li')                                            
  .should($els => {                                              // retries here
    const values = [...$els].map(el => el.innerText.trim())      // uses Array .map()
    expect(values).to.deep.eq(["5","15","30","45"])
  })

Create a fixture file data.json inside cypress/fixtures and write:

{
"dropdownValues": ["5","15","30","45"]
}

Your test will be like:

describe('SO Question', function() {
    beforeEach(function() {
        //Load Fixture File
        cy.fixture('data').then(function(testdata) {
            this.testdata = testdata 
        })
    })
    it('Iterate dropdown and validate', function() {
        cy.get(selector).each(($ele, i) => {
            expect($ele).to.have.text(this.testdata.dropdownValues[i])
        })
    })
})
