Cypress - Element Interactions

You wrote this Cypress test:

cy.get('#search').clear;

Why does this test fail to clear the input field?

ABecause <code>clear()</code> cannot be used on input fields.

BBecause the selector <code>#search</code> is incorrect.

CBecause <code>clear</code> is missing parentheses to call the function.

DBecause Cypress requires <code>cy.clear()</code> instead.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check the method call syntax
The code uses clear without parentheses, so the function is not executed.
Step 2: Understand Cypress command chaining
To clear the input, you must call clear() with parentheses to invoke the method.
Final Answer:
Because clear is missing parentheses to call the function. -> Option C
Quick Check:
Always use parentheses to call .clear() [OK]

Quick Trick: Use parentheses: .clear() not .clear [OK]
