cy.select() fails if option value contains a quotation mark

[davidfurey]

Current behavior

For an option:

 <select id="select-maps" name="maps">
  <option value="&quot;test&quot;">test</option>
</select>

When you attempt:

cy.get('select[name=maps]').select('"test"')

The result is:

Timed out retrying after 4000ms: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: option[value=""test""]

Desired behavior

Option is selected
