medium📝 Debug Q14 of 15
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:
  1. Step 1: Understand the error message

    The error means the element with id 'submit' was not found, so click() failed.
  2. Step 2: Consider timing of commands

    If the page is not fully loaded before cy.get(), the element may not exist yet causing failure.
  3. Final Answer:

    The page did not finish loading before cy.get ran -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Element missing = page not loaded yet [OK]
Quick Trick: Wait for page load before querying elements [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming selector syntax is wrong
  • Thinking cy.visit() does not open page
  • Believing cy.get() can't follow cy.visit()
