cy.contains with selector and cy.get as a subject stopped working on v12

[KrzGruszcz]

Current behavior

cy.get(<parent_locator>).contains(<child_locator>, <text>) was finding elements, but with Cypress v12.0.1 is not finding anything:

The changelog was not mentioning anything about cy.contains updates.

Desired behavior

should work like before changes

Test code to reproduce

describe("cy.contains bug Cypress v12.0.1", () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    cy.visit("https://example.cypress.io");
  });

  it("passes", () => {
    cy.get(".container").eq(2).contains("p", "Commands ");
  });

  it("passes", () => {
    cy.get(".container").contains("Commands ");
  });

  it("fails", () => {
    cy.get(".container").contains("p", "Commands ");
  });
});

I'm also seeing issues with contains, especially inside within or when text is more than one level deep

Oh dear. Looking into this now; Somehow it looks like we didn't have a test case covering this case at all in our own suite.

Linked a PR to address this. Basically, the new version of .contains() was only looking inside the first subject element - if there were multiple, everything past the first was being ignored.

Thank you for the simple repro, made this a lot easier to track down and fix quickly. Expect a patch release today or tomorrow.
