medium📝 Debug Q6 of 15
Cypress - Navigation and URL
Identify the error in this Cypress code snippet:
cy.url().should('contain', '/dashboard')
cy.url().should('eq', '/dashboard')
AThe 'eq' assertion should be 'equals'
BThe first assertion syntax is incorrect
CBoth assertions will always pass
DThe second assertion will fail if URL is not exactly '/dashboard'
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Analyze the first assertion

    'contain' checks if '/dashboard' is anywhere in the URL; syntax is correct.

  2. Step 2: Analyze the second assertion

    'eq' requires exact URL match; if URL has extra parts, it fails.

  3. Final Answer:

    The second assertion will fail if URL is not exactly '/dashboard' -> Option D

  4. Quick Check:

    'eq' demands exact match, unlike 'contain' [OK]
Quick Trick: 'eq' needs exact URL, 'contain' allows substring [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming 'eq' works like 'contain'
  • Using 'equals' instead of 'eq'
  • Thinking both assertions always pass
