composeTestRule.onNodeWithContentDescription(inputDescription).assertTextEquals("")

returns

java.lang.AssertionError: Failed to assert the following: (Text + EditableText = [])
Semantics of the node:
Node #130 at (l=0.0, t=273.0, r=1080.0, b=420.0)px
ContentDescription = '[message_input_text]'
ImeAction = 'Send'
EditableText = ''
TextSelectionRange = 'TextRange(0, 0)'
Focused = 'false'
Text = '[Type Message]'

MergeDescendants = 'true'

Selector used: (ContentDescription = 'message_input_text' (ignoreCase: false))

Well, weird. The fix is quite simple- useUnmergedTree:

composeTestRule.onNodeWithContentDescription(inputDescription, useUnmergedTree = true).assertTextEquals("")
