why don't I get the value from an Object.key via javascript

Question

In my unit test, I get an Object and I can list the keys.
However, I can't get the value for a specific key:

wrapper = mount(Toolbar, { router, i18n });
const currentFlag= wrapper.find("#current-flag")
const currentFlagObject = currentFlag.attributes("src")
console.log(Object.keys(currentFlagObject))
console.log(currentFlagObject['src'])

console:

console.log tests/unit/Toolbar.spec.js:27
  [ 'id', 'src', 'width' ]
console.log tests/unit/Toolbar.spec.js:28
  [object Object]

Why can't i get the key value?

thanks but it does not work as the object is a JS object not a JSON one — , Aug 28 '18 at 11:43
@JasminMistry `currentFlagObject.src` and `currentFlagObject['src']` are equivalent. There must not be a different result for both of them. — t.niese, Aug 28 '18 at 11:46
It seems a little bit tricky ... using JSON.stringify(currentFlagObject).src is given me another JS object . ( it's a file... and not a path string...) — , Aug 28 '18 at 11:48
`JSON.stringify(currentFlagObject).src` shouldn't work at all — Luca Kiebel, Aug 28 '18 at 11:49

console.log(JSON.stringify(obj))

This will print the stringify version of object. So instead of [object Object] as an output you will get the content of object.

in your case it will be

console.log(JSON.stringify(currentFlagObject['src']))

Try DOM getAttribute() Method

 currentFlag.getAttribute("src");
