Hi @Yihao-G is there a reason you don't get the body directly with something like cy.get('body')?

Hi @nagash77
It's because in my actual code, I need to get the body inside within(() => { ... }). Calling cy.get('body') inside within cannot retrieve the body, so I have to use the workaround of cy.document().its('body')
