Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to check if the URL includes the word 'dashboard'.

Cypress

cy.url().should([1], 'dashboard')

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Binclude

Chave.property

Dcontain

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'equal' instead of 'contain' will check for exact match, which is too strict.

Using 'have.property' is incorrect for URL string assertions.

The contain assertion checks if the URL contains the given substring.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to assert that the URL exactly matches 'https://example.com/home'.

Cypress

cy.url().should([1], 'https://example.com/home')

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Acontain

Binclude

Cequal

Dmatch

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'contain' or 'include' will only check for partial match, not exact.

Using 'match' is for regex, not exact string match.

The equal assertion checks if the URL exactly matches the given string.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to assert the URL starts with 'https://'.

Cypress

cy.url().should('[1]', /^https:\/\//)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Amatch

Bequal

Ccontain

Dinclude

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'contain' or 'include' does not support regex matching.

Using 'equal' expects exact string, not regex.

The match assertion is used to check if the URL matches the given regular expression.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to assert the URL does not include 'login' and is not equal to 'https://example.com/login'.

Cypress

cy.url().should([1], 'login').and('not.[2]', 'https://example.com/login')

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Anot.include

Bequal

Ccontain

Dnot.equal

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'contain' in the first blank will fail because the instruction says 'does not include'.

Using 'equal' instead of 'not.equal' in the second blank will cause the assertion to fail.

First, we check the URL does not include 'login' with not.include, then assert it is not equal to the login page URL with not.equal.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to assert the URL matches regex /^https:\/\/app\./, contains 'dashboard', and is not equal to 'https://app.example.com/logout'.

Cypress

cy.url().should('[1]', /^https:\/\/app\./).and('[2]', 'dashboard').and('not.[3]', 'https://app.example.com/logout')

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Amatch

Bcontain

Cequal

Dnot.equal

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up 'equal' and 'not.equal' will cause wrong assertion results.

Using 'include' instead of 'contain' is invalid in Cypress assertions.

We use match for regex, contain for substring, and not.equal to assert inequality.
