cy.location('pathname').should('equal', '/dashboard')

BThe argument 'pathname' should be 'path'
Ccy.location() cannot take arguments
DThe assertion method should be 'eq' not 'equal'
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Check assertion method correctness

    Cypress uses 'eq' as the assertion method, not 'equal'.

    'pathname' is correct, cy.location() accepts arguments, and leading slash is valid.

  3. Final Answer:

    The assertion method should be 'eq' not 'equal' -> Option D

  4. Quick Check:

    Use .should('eq', value) for equality [OK]
Quick Trick: Use .should('eq', value) for equality assertions [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Using 'equal' instead of 'eq'
  • Wrong property name 'path' instead of 'pathname'
  • Thinking cy.location() takes no arguments
