You can do the following:

describe('Inbox', () => { let contactName let message2Send context('Desktop viewport', () => { it('Creates a thread if none exists: necessary to all the following tests', () => { let newContact = false cy.defaultLogin() cy.get('body').then(($el) => { if ($el.find('[data-cy=inbox-empty-thread]').length > 0) { newContact = true contactName = faker.name.findName() message2Send = faker.lorem.sentence() } else { cy.get('[data-cy=inbox-thread-0]').find('[data-cy=inbox-thread-name]').then(($elem) => { contactName = $elem.text() cy.log(contactName) }) cy.get('[data-cy=inbox-thread-0]').find('[data-cy=inbox-thread-message]').then(($elem) => { message2Send = $elem.text() cy.log(message2Send) }) } }) cy.then(() => { cy.log(contactName, message2Send) cy.createThread(contactName, message2Send, newContact) }) })

Please notice the then callback when accessing the variables. Cypress commands are asynchronous and the variables are not yet initialized when accessed without a then callback.

You can also move the assignment into a before/beforeEach hook and use the variables directly in any of your it tests
