[🐛 Bug]: v9: Deprecated function expect(...).toHaveTextContaining(...) used in the sample WDIO project

[giuseppe-salvatore]

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

• [X] I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.

WebdriverIO Version

9.0.4

Node.js Version

22.6

Mode

Standalone Mode

Which capabilities are you using?

{
   browser: "chrome"
}

What happened?

Selecting cucumber/typescript from the config wizard results in generation of broken code. That's because the function toHaveTextContaining has been removed.

I found this works

await expect(await SecurePage.flashAlert.getText()).toContain(message);

What is your expected behavior?

Initialisation and execution of the sample should complete with success (assuming the target website does't have any issues)

How to reproduce the bug.

yarn create wdio .

Select the following config

? A project named "webdriverio-autoinit" was detected at "/home/workspace/webdriver.io/webdriverio-autoinit", correct? yes ? What type of testing would you like to do? E2E Testing - of Web or Mobile Applications ? Where is your automation backend located? On my local machine ? Which environment you would like to automate? Web - web applications in the browser ? With which browser should we start? ? Which framework do you want to use? Cucumber (https://cucumber.io/) ? Do you want to use Typescript to write tests? yes ? Do you want WebdriverIO to autogenerate some test files? yes ? What should be the location of your feature files? /home/workspace/webdriver.io/webdriverio-autoinit/features/*/.feature ? What should be the location of your step definitions? /home/workspace/webdriver.io/webdriverio-autoinit/features/step-definitions/steps.ts ? Do you want to use page objects (https://martinfowler.com/bliki/PageObject.html)? yes ? Where are your page objects located? /home/workspace/webdriver.io/webdriverio-autoinit/features/pageobjects/*/.ts ? Which reporter do you want to use? ? Do you want to add a plugin to your test setup? ? Would you like to include Visual Testing to your setup? For more information see https://webdriver.io/docs/visual-testing! no ? Do you want to add a service to your test setup? ? Do you want me to run npm install no

Then run

yarn wdio
