Cypress Cheat Sheet

This cheat sheet provides an overview of the most commonly used Cypress commands,
concepts, and best practices to help streamline your testing process.

1. Basic Commands
 `cy.visit('https://example.com')` - Visit a page.
 `cy.reload()` - Reload the current page.
 `cy.go('back')` - Navigate back in browser history.

2. Element Selectors
 `cy.get('selector')` - Select an element.
 `cy.contains('text')` - Find an element containing specific text.
 `cy.get('parentSelector').children('childSelector')` - Get child elements.

3. Actions
 `cy.get('selector').type('text')` - Type into an input field.
 `cy.get('selector').click()` - Click on an element.
 `cy.get('selector').select('option')` - Select an option from a dropdown.

4. Assertions
 `cy.get('selector').should('contain', 'text')` - Assert that an element
contains text.
 `cy.get('selector').should('be.visible')` - Assert that an element is visible.
 `cy.get('selector').should('have.class', 'className')` - Assert that an
element has a class.

5. Waiting
 `cy.wait(1000)` - Wait for a fixed time (e.g., 1 second).
 `cy.get('selector', { timeout: 10000 }).should('be.visible')` - Wait for an element.

6. Network Requests
 `cy.intercept('GET', '/api/endpoint').as('getData')` - Intercept a network request.
 `cy.wait('@getData').its('response.statusCode').should('eq', 200)` - Wait for a response.

7. Hooks
 `before(() => { ... })` - Run code once before all tests.
 `beforeEach(() => { ... })` - Run code before each test.
 `after(() => { ... })` - Run code after all tests.

8. Debugging
 `cy.pause()` - Pause execution at a specific command.
 `cy.get('selector').debug()` - Print debug information to the console.
9. Custom Commands
 Define: `Cypress.Commands.add('login', (username, password) => { ... })`
 Use: `cy.login('user', 'password')` - Use custom commands in your tests.

10. Environment Variables


 Define in `cypress.json`: `{ "env": { "username": "testUser" } }`
 Access: `Cypress.env('username')` - Access environment variables in tests.

11. Screenshots and Videos


 `cy.screenshot('screenshotName')` - Take a screenshot.
 `video: true` - Record videos of test runs (set in `cypress.config.js`).

12. Debugging Timeouts


 `cy.get('selector', { timeout: 10000 })` - Increase timeout for commands.

Other Important Concepts


 **Cypress Command Queue** - Cypress manages commands in a queue to ensure
sequential execution.
 **Automatic Waiting** - Cypress automatically waits for elements and network
requests.
 **Assertions Integration** - Cypress integrates with Chai for intuitive assertions.
 **Test Isolation** - Each test runs in isolation, ensuring consistent results.
 **Retries** - Failed assertions or commands can automatically retry within the timeout.
