Which Cypress assertion checks if an element is present in the DOM, regardless of visibility?
A<code>should('contain.text')</code>
B<code>should('be.visible')</code>
C<code>should('have.text')</code>
D<code>should('exist')</code>
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand the meaning of exist assertion

    The exist assertion checks if the element is present in the DOM, even if it is hidden.

  2. Step 2: Compare with other assertions

    be.visible checks if the element is visible, have.text checks exact text content, and contain.text checks partial text. Only exist fits the question.

  3. Final Answer:

    should('exist') -> Option D

  4. Quick Check:

    Check presence = should('exist') [OK]
Quick Trick: Exist means element is in DOM, visible or not [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing 'exist' with 'be.visible'
  • Using 'have.text' to check presence
  • Thinking 'contain.text' checks existence
