Contains return the first element whose text has only a part of given string

My question is about assertions on a table. I am trying to find an element with certain text, in this case the text is a date-time string.

The problem occurs when using contains.

If I write cy.contains('td', '04/01/2023 08:00').parent() and then cy.contains('td', '04/01/2023 16:00').parent(), when the DOM looks like this

&

T query for first element work just fine, but for the second one Cypress finds the element is not visible and then .parent() sends it to the first element.

So pretty much contains returns the first element that has a part of the given string.

Any ideas how this could be solved?

It is possible to do an exact match on the text you want by using a .filter() command.

cy.get('td').filter((index, td) => td.innerText === '04/01/2023 16:00')
  .parent()

Or use the parent row directly

cy.get('tr').filter((index, tr) => tr.innerText === '04/01/2023 16:00')
