How do I cast the output of `value()`?

[pathikrit]

I am trying to do something like this:

<input id="test">Hello!</input>

import io.udash.wrappers.jquery._

// Read from Scala
val x = jQ("#test").value().asIntanceOf[String]
assert(x === "Hello!")

But, I get a ClassCastException saying String | Int | Double | js.Array[Any] cannot be cast to a String

Would you be so kind to post a simple example of this behaviour that I could run? My attempts at reproducing this just worked, so it doesn't seem like anything obvious. I'm bit suprised by the exception message, are you sure you're running these tests in a Javascript environment (browser, node)? The union type probably wouldn't be preserved there.

Yup, my bad. It worked in browser but I ran it as test in wrong environment. Thank you for the great library!

No worries, thanks!
