Cypress: How do I visit, or type a generated URL into the Cypress browser

Question

I currently have an email SMTP server that sends an email, that generates a URL.

I am able to get the contents of the URL from the email, but I want to then visit, or type this URL into the current Cypress address bar.

The code I have in Cypress looks like this.

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

When I run the Cypress code is get this error.

Is there anyway I can use this generated URL and insert it into the Cypress address bar?

try logging in `email.text.links[0].value`. As per your error this is not translating into a valid URL. — Alapan Das, Jun 08 '22 at 16:05
Can you copy cy.mailosaurGetMessage custom command? Actually log would be more helpful to see what this command yielded exactly. I believe it returns/yields something but not what you want. — MiklosBalazsi, Jun 08 '22 at 19:38

The property you need is .href rather than .value

cy.mailosaurGetMessage(serverId, {
  sentTo: testEmail
}).then(email => {
  cy.visit(email.text.links[0].href)
})
