In Browser most if the `Get ...` keywords are assertions.

In your specific case it would be:

```nohighlight
Get Text <selector> should be <expected>

```

See here how assertions work:

And look into the Get keywords for some examples.

Another question:  
Which keyword in the Browser library do the same as the selenium library keyword ‘Page Should Contain Element’?

</div>

```python
Get Element States <selector> contains attached

```

Or visible or other states you are looking for.

I use: Get Element

If it succeeds it returns: INFO Locator found successfully.  
And if it failed in returns:  
FAIL TimeoutError: locator.elementHandle: Timeout 10000ms exceeded.  
=========================== logs ===========================  
waiting for selector “xpath=//\*[@id=“menu-list-grow”]”

Is it OK?
