Cypress get specific text

You can do something like:

cy.get('[for="prod-field"]').should(($el) => { expect( $el .contents() // Grab all contents .first() // The text node you're looking for .text() // Get the text .trim() // And trim the white space ).to.eq('Project'); }); 

As you can see in the above, we can do this, however the selector is over complicated. I'd recommend you to tweak the HTML a bit if you can to something like:

<label for="prod-field" ><span class="label-text">Project</span>> <span class="aui-icon">Required</span> </label> 

Then, you can simply do this:

cy.get('[for="prod-field"] .label-text').should('have.text', 'Project');
