Cypress: Can I use a value in the log as a string?

Question

Currently I have my Cypress code writing out an email verification code to the log.

I need to take the six numbers from this value, to be inserted into a text field as a string.

The code I have in Cypress looks like this.

And the line of code related in the feature file looks like this.

I cannot pass the object into 'type' because it can only be a string or number.

Is there a way to take out the number element from the log to be used in the placeholderText part of the code I currently have?

Answer 1

It looks like email.text.codes[0] yields an object with one key (of value). So I think we'll just need to access that value field.

cy.get('foo')
  .type(email.text.codes[0].value);
