 <ul id="shopping-list">
   <li>Coffee<li>

 import { Ensure, equals } from '@serenity-js/assertions';
 import { BrowseTheWeb, by, Target, Text } from '@serenity-js/webdriverio';

 const header = () =>
     Target.the('header').located(by.tagName('h1'))

 actorCalled('Lisa')
     .whoCan(BrowseTheWeb.using(browser))
     .attemptsTo(
         Ensure.that(Text.of(header()), equals('Shopping list')),
     )
Retrieve text of a multiple elements
 import { actorCalled } from '@serenity-js/core';
 import { Ensure, equals } from '@serenity-js/assertions';
 import { BrowseTheWeb, by, Target, Text } from '@serenity-js/webdriverio';

 const shoppingListItems = () =>
     Target.the('shopping list items').located(by.css('#shopping-list li'))

 actorCalled('Lisa')
     .whoCan(BrowseTheWeb.using(browser))
     .attemptsTo(
         Ensure.that(
             Text.ofAll(shoppingListItems()),
             equals([ 'Coffee', 'Honey', 'Chocolate' ])
         ),
     )
Find element with matching text
 import { actorCalled } from '@serenity-js/core';
 import { contain, Ensure } from '@serenity-js/assertions';
 import { BrowseTheWeb, by, CSSClasses, Target, Text } from '@serenity-js/webdriverio';

 const shoppingListItemCalled = (name: string) =>
     Target.the('shopping list items').located(by.css('#shopping-list li'))
         .where(Text, equals(name))
         .first()

 actorCalled('Lisa')
     .whoCan(BrowseTheWeb.using(browser))
