Sometimes finding an item can give a wrong match. In this video, I explain my strategy for finding the right item inside the right parent element. You can either use cy.within or combine selectors to target both the right parent and the item.
cy.get('#items').within(function () {
// there should be several items
cy.get('li').should('have.length.above', 0)
// find the product we are looking for
cy.contains('li', 'Apples')
// and confirm its "data" attributes
.should('have.attr', 'data-product-id', '190')
.and('have.attr', 'data-price', '299')
})
