Automatic retry mechanism in Cypress - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to retry the assertion automatically in Cypress.

Cypress

cy.get('button').click();
cy.get('.result').should([1], 'Success');

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

A'have.text'

B'be.visible'

C'contain'

D'exist'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'contain' instead of 'have.text' which allows partial match.

Using 'exist' which only checks presence, not text content.

The should('have.text', 'Success') assertion checks the exact text and retries automatically until it passes or times out.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to retry a custom command until it succeeds.

Cypress

Cypress.Commands.add('checkStatus', () => {
  cy.request('/status').its('body.status').should([1], 'ready');
});

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

A'match'

B'contain'

C'equal'

D'include'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'include' or 'contain' which check partial matches and may not be precise.

Using 'match' which is for regex and not suitable here.

The should('equal', 'ready') assertion retries until the status equals 'ready'.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the retry assertion to correctly wait for the element to be visible.

Cypress

cy.get('.loading').should([1]);

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

A'show'

B'visible'

C'is.visible'

D'be.visible'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'visible' without 'be.' prefix causes syntax error.

Using 'is.visible' or 'show' which are invalid assertions.

The correct Cypress assertion is should('be.visible') which retries until the element is visible.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to retry the assertion that the input value is 'test'.

Cypress

cy.get('input').should([1], [2]);

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

A'have.value'

B'value'

C'test'

D'input'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'value' instead of 'have.value' for the assertion name.

Using 'input' instead of the expected value string.

The assertion should('have.value', 'test') retries until the input's value is exactly 'test'.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to retry a custom command that waits for a status 'complete' and asserts it.

Cypress

Cypress.Commands.add('waitForComplete', () => {
  cy.request('/task-status').its([1]).should([2], [3]);
});

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

A'body.status'

B'equal'

C'complete'

D'status'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'status' instead of 'body.status' which does not access the nested property.

Using 'include' or 'contain' instead of 'equal' for exact match.

The command checks the property body.status and retries the assertion should('equal', 'complete') until the status is 'complete'.
