💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using seconds instead of milliseconds.

Setting timeout too low causing test failures.

The command timeout is set in milliseconds. 10000 means 10 seconds.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to set the assertion timeout to 5 seconds.

Cypress

cy.get('input').should('be.visible', { timeout: [1] })

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Confusing command timeout with assertion timeout.

Using too short timeout causing flaky tests.

The assertion timeout controls how long Cypress waits for the assertion to pass. 5000 means 5 seconds.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly set command timeout to 8 seconds.

Cypress

cy.get('div', { timeout: [1] })

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using seconds instead of milliseconds.

Passing timeout as a string.

Timeout must be a number in milliseconds. 8000 means 8 seconds.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to set command timeout to 7 seconds and assertion timeout to 3 seconds.

Cypress

cy.get('span', { timeout: [1] }).should('exist', { timeout: [2] })

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up command and assertion timeouts.

Using the same timeout for both.

The command timeout is 7000 ms (7 seconds) and the assertion timeout is 3000 ms (3 seconds).

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to set command timeout to 6 seconds, assertion timeout to 4 seconds, and check existence.

Cypress

cy.get('section', { timeout: [1] }).should('be.visible', { timeout: [2] }).and('[3]')

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'be.enabled' instead of 'exist' for presence check.

Confusing assertion timeout with command timeout.

Command timeout is 6000 ms (6 seconds), assertion timeout is 4000 ms (4 seconds), and the chained assertion checks that the element exists.
