Cypress - Navigation and URL

You wrote this Cypress test:

cy.visit('https://example.com')
cy.get('#submit').click()

The test fails with "Cannot read property 'click' of null". What is the likely cause?

Acy.get() cannot be used after cy.visit()

BThe selector '#submit' is invalid syntax

Ccy.visit() does not open the page

DThe page did not finish loading before cy.get ran

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the error message
The error means the element with id 'submit' was not found, so click() failed.
Step 2: Consider timing of commands
If the page is not fully loaded before cy.get(), the element may not exist yet causing failure.
Final Answer:
The page did not finish loading before cy.get ran -> Option D
Quick Check:
Element missing = page not loaded yet [OK]

Quick Trick: Wait for page load before querying elements [OK]
