title: How to assert which value is selected in drop-down
body: <p>All the docs seem to be explaining how to select a value in a drop-down, but I need to assert that a specific value is selected, without making any changes.
  I'm new to Cypress, so haven't been able to figure it out yet. </p>
  
  <p>I tried <code>cy.get('.selector').contains('expected string');</code> but the test fails with this error message --</p>
  
  <pre><code>expected &lt;.selector&gt; to have value 1st of the month after 60 days, but the value was ''
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48666908/cypress-io-select-drop-down">Cypress.IO Select Drop Down</a> didn't help either.</p>
  
  <p>Fwiw, the selector is Vuetify's <code>v-select</code></p>
  
  <p>Any advice?</p>
