Get occurrences of text in cypress test

Question

Is there a way to get the number of occurrences of a certain text in an unordered list without using any Javascript in Cypress?

I have something like this:

<ul>
    <li>
        14 May, 2018
    </li>

    <li>
        14 May, 2018
    </li>

    <li>
        23 Aug, 2018
    </li>

    <li>
        14 May, 2018
    </li>
</ul>

I want to count the occurrences of 14 May, 2018. I can not use contain() as it would only get the first element.

I did not find anything in the docs.

Answer 1

This was rather too easy.

cy.get(`ul`)
   .get('li:contains(14 May, 2018)')
   .should('have.length', 3);
