$element.text is not a function

[VictorCapitole]

I have this code:

cy.get(#element).should(($element) => {
        cy.log($element.text())
})

When running this code I have the following error: $element.text is not a function
But the log is printing the text properly.

So, for some reason the cy.log() is running twice here.

It's not that.
I've changed the code to cy.get(loginForm.ddLanguage).text() and still have the same error.

@VictorCapitole This is because .text() is not a Cypress command, so it is not a function that can be chained off of Cypress commands.

See our FAQ for multiple ways to get the text of an element: https://on.cypress.io/using-cypress-faq#How-do-I-get-an-element%E2%80%99s-text-contents

I don't get it, the same page you reference mentions using .text() multiple times.
