Cypress - Assertions

Consider this Cypress code snippet:

cy.get('.alert').should('not.exist')
cy.get('.alert').should('not.be.visible')

AThe first assertion fails, the second passes.

BThe first assertion passes, the second fails.

CBoth assertions pass.

DBoth assertions fail.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze should('not.exist') when element is present but hidden
This assertion fails because the element exists in the DOM, even if hidden.
Step 2: Analyze should('not.be.visible') when element is hidden
This assertion passes because the element is present but not visible.
Final Answer:
The first assertion fails, the second passes. -> Option A
Quick Check:
Existence vs visibility differ: exist fails, visibility passes [OK]

Quick Trick: Existence and visibility are different checks [OK]
