Cypress - Navigation and URL

What will the following code assert if the current URL is http://localhost:8080/home?

cy.location('host').should('eq', 'localhost:8080')

AThe test will pass because host matches

BThe test will fail because host excludes port

CThe test will fail because host includes protocol

DThe test will pass because host equals 'localhost'

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the 'host' property
The 'host' includes hostname and port, so 'localhost:8080' is correct.
Step 2: Check assertion logic
The assertion expects 'localhost:8080', which matches the URL's host exactly.
Final Answer:
The test will pass because host matches -> Option A
Quick Check:
cy.location('host') = 'localhost:8080' [OK]

Quick Trick: 'host' includes port number in cy.location() [OK]
