💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using .only instead of .skip will run only this test.

Using .focus or .ignore are not valid Cypress test modifiers.

Using .skip after it tells Cypress to skip this test during execution.

2fill in blank

medium

Cypress

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using .skip will skip this test instead of running only it.

Using .focus or .ignore are not valid Cypress test modifiers.

Using .only after it tells Cypress to run only this test and skip others.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in this code to skip the whole test suite.

Cypress

describe[1]('My test suite', () => {
  it('test 1', () => {
    cy.visit('https://example.com')
  })
})

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

B.ignore

C.focus

D.only

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using .only will run only this suite and skip others.

Using .focus or .ignore are not valid Cypress suite modifiers.

Adding .skip after describe skips the entire test suite.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to run only this test suite and skip others.

Cypress

describe[1]('Focused suite', () => {
  it[2]('test inside focused suite', () => {
    cy.visit('https://example.com')
  })
})

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

B.skip

C.focus

D.ignore

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using .skip on describe will skip the whole suite, not focus it.

Using .only on it will run only that test, not the suite.

Using .only after describe runs only this suite, and .skip after it skips the test inside it.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to skip one test, focus another, and leave the rest normal.

Cypress

describe('Mixed tests', () => {
  it[1]('test to skip', () => {
    cy.visit('https://skip.com')
  })
  it[2]('test to focus', () => {
    cy.visit('https://focus.com')
  })
  it('normal test', () => {
    cy.visit('https://normal.com')
  })
})

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

D.focus

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using .focus is not a valid Cypress modifier.

Adding .only to multiple tests runs only those tests, ignoring others.

Use .skip to skip the first test, .only to focus the second test, and no modifier (empty string) for the normal test.
