How can I get "token" from this localStorage item in Cypress?

Question

Here my localStorage 2 localstorage displays while test runnig

I shared the localStorage's SS.

I need to use "token" from "test_auth" in Cypress and tried this:

const token = localStorage.getItem('test_auth.token')

But it didn't work. What should I do?

Answer 1

local storage stores strings so you should first parse what you get to JSON and then get what you want. below code can be your answer:

const token = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('test_auth')).token

Answer 2

It's looking for a storage item with the name 'test_auth.token'

You want to get the storage object then access it's .token property

const token = localStorage.getItem('test_auth').token
