How do i clear a multi-select input using Cypress?

问题

How do i clear (deselect) all options within a multi-select input using Cypress?

The documentation here does not seem to cover this scenario: https://docs.cypress.io/api/commands/select.html#Syntax

The clear() command apparently cannot be applied to selects, as you might expect https://docs.cypress.io/api/commands/clear.html#Syntax

I have tried passing an empty string / array / null to select() but i get the following error:

CypressError: Timed out retrying: cy.select() failed because it could not find a single <option> with value or text matching: ''

You can use cy.invoke() to call the .val('') method on the underlying JQuery element, which will cause it to be cleared.

Like this:

cy.get('select')
.invoke('val', '')

Note that this will not emit the change event. If you want to test that your code reacts to the change event, you can cause it to be emitted with cy.trigger():

cy.get('select')
.invoke('val', '')
.trigger('change')

I've also filed a feature request for this functionality, as it does seem like something that should be included with Cypress by default.
