JS Cypress finding row in table that contains value

June 30, 2023

I got table like this:

Im trying to write a function that will go thru pages of the table to find row with ID that i passed, and then delete this row.

My function looks like this:

deleteRowByID(id){

    cy.get('nb-card-body').then(body =>{
        if(body.find('td:nth-child(2)').filter(":contains('15')").length > 0){
            cy.contains('td:nth-child(2)',id).parent('tr').find('.nb-trash').click()
        } else {
            cy.get('[aria-label="Next"]').click()
            this.deleteRowByID(id)
        }
    })    
}

if(body.find(‘td:nth-child(2)’).filter(":contains(’15’)").length > 0) – im getting column with ID’s from the table and then i check if there is value that im looking for on this page of table.

In IF statement there is hard-coded ’15’ value. If i switch it to variable "id" it wont work since it will look for value = "id" instead of the variable value that i passed.
How can i fix it?

>Solution :

Will this work if you just append the ID to your selector?

deleteRowByID(id){

    cy.get('nb-card-body').then(body =>{
        if(body.find('td:nth-child(2)').filter(":contains('" + id + "')").length > 0){
            cy.contains('td:nth-child(2)',id).parent('tr').find('.nb-trash').click()
        } else {
            cy.get('[aria-label="Next"]').click()
            this.deleteRowByID(id)
        }
    })    
}
