Ionic searchbar search not working on cypress {enter} - ionic-framework

Question

I have an Ionic 6 app and I'm testing it with cypress 9.3.1.
In my app I'm using an ion-searchbar like this:
<ion-searchbar *ngIf="showSearchbar" [value]="search" (search)="searchQuestions($event)"
placeholder="{{'components.search.placeholder' | translate}}">
The searchQuestions method looks like this:
public searchQuestions(event): void {
console.log('test');
this.triggerSearch.emit(event.target.value);
}
When I test it manually everything works fine, but when I execute the cypress code like this:
cy.get('.searchbar-input')
.type('test1' + '{leftArrow}{del}{enter}' + 'test');
the input field is filled with testtest, so the {leftArrow}{del} is working, but the console.log from searchQuestions is not executed and the event is not emitted
EDIT: When I use (keyup.enter)="searchQuestions($event)" instead of (search)="searchQuestions($event)" it seems to work fine. But I guess replacing it would be problematic for native apps and keeping both might cause problems.

Answer 1

The app or the Ionic framework is adding an event handler to trigger the search event, but Cypress doesn't know about it.
In the .type() command it issues keyboard events only, which is why (keyup.enter)="searchQuestions($event)" fires but (search)="searchQuestions($event)" does not.
The first thing to try is
cy.get('.searchbar-input')
.type('test1' + '{leftArrow}{del}{enter}' + 'test')
.trigger('search')
Also try triggering other events like .trigger('change') and .trigger('input').
The other thing that might cause it is the {enter} in the middle of the typed string.
Try .type('test1' + '{leftArrow}{del}' + 'test' + '{enter}') - this seems more like the pattern a user would use.
