Verification of value in <select> with "I.seeInField" fails with WebDriver

[ngraf]

I want to report a defect. The defect is about I.seeInField. When I want to use it to verify a <select> field has the expected value, it fails with WebDriver, but passes with Playwright. Not sure when it started. It was today the first time I wanted to use I.seeInField. Thatswhy I am not sure since when this defect exists.

Steps to reproduce:

I.amOnPage('https://interactive-examples.mdn.mozilla.net/pages/tabbed/select.html');
I.switchTo('#output-iframe');
I.selectOption('#pet-select', 'Hamster');
I.seeInField('#pet-select', 'Hamster'); // ✅Passes with Playwright. ❌Fails with WebDriver with error 'The selector "option" used with strategy "css" is invalid!'

Version used:

• CodeceptJS 3.6.5
• WebDriver.IO: 8.40.6
