Cypress folder structure - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test checks if Cypress can open the default folder structure and find the example test file. It verifies that the test file exists and can be run successfully.

Test Code - Cypress

Cypress

describe('Cypress Folder Structure Test', () => {
  it('should find the example test file and run it', () => {
    cy.visit('https://example.cypress.io')
    cy.get('h1').should('contain.text', 'Kitchen Sink')
  })
})
