select('value') cannot contain round bracket ( ) as value

[jimmy-foong]

Current behavior

select() are not able to find and select value with round bracket ( ). Example value: lorem (lorem)

Desired behavior

select() should be able to find and select value with any special characters

Test code to reproduce

cy.get('select#dropdownelement').select('Lorem (ipsum)');

Versions

7.1.0

Note

Had tested it with no round bracket ( ) and is able to select the desired value

Can you give us a reproducible example? I tested with the code below, but it works without fail.

<select>
  <option value="456">apples</option>
  <option value="457 (x)">oranges</option>
  <option value="458">bananas</option>
  <option value="Lorem (Ipsum)">Lorem</option>
</select>

it('x', () => {
  cy.visit('index.html')
  cy.get('select').select('Lorem (Ipsum)')
})

Code snippet below

<select name="valueDropDown">
<option value="111&nbsp;Lorem (Ipsum)">111&nbsp;Lorem (Ipsum)</option>
</select>

Coding using Page object pattern
Page Code

getDropDown() { return cy.get('select#valueDropDown'); }

selectDropDownValue(value) {
	this.getDropDown().select(value);
}

Test Case Code

pageCode.selectDropDownValue('111 Lorem (Ipsum)');

Confirmed that it doesn't work.

<select>
  <option value="456">apples</option>
  <option value="457 (x)">oranges</option>
  <option value="458">bananas</option>
  <option value="111&nbsp;Lorem (Ipsum)">111&nbsp;Lorem (Ipsum)</option>
</select>

it('x', () => {
  cy.visit('index.html')
  cy.get('select').select('111 Lorem (Ipsum)')
})

It can be solved by changing   to \u00a0 like below:

cy.get('select').select('111\u00a0Lorem (Ipsum)')
