Cypress is asserting in the original HTML source of the page (view-source) instead of the DOM, is that ok?

[melibe23]

Current tag in DOM Chrome:

My test:

it(Check "meta[name="robots"], function() {
cy.get(meta[name="robots"])
.should(exist)
.and("have.attr", "content", "null");
});
Outcome:
image

Expected (or maybe I am wrong) > attr CONTENT should exist and its value should be the string "null".

This is happening because Cypress is asserting in the original HTML source of the page (view-source) instead of the DOM, is that ok?
