Describe the problem that you experienced

The documentation of the DebugElement property says:

It does not include:

input property bindings (e.g. [myCustomInput]="value")

But when testing I can get the value of the input just fine using the following code:

const messageElement = fixture.debugElement.query(By.css([data-testid="message-container"]));
const messages = messageElemement.properties['messages'] as Message[];

expect(messages).toEqual(expectedMessages);

This works both when messages is set from using a component property or from within the template itself. The documentation seems to say it won't work, so either its not clear or the information in the docs are wrong.
