Testing · Middle · Question 56 of 75

Why can't you write `const text = cy.get("h1").text()` in Cypress?

✓Correct answer: Cypress commands are enqueued and run later; they don't return values - use .then() or .should()
2text() is a jQuery method
3Cypress doesn't support headings

Explanation

Commands are chained and executed asynchronously by Cypress; they are not promises and can't be awaited.
