  e2e: {

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using only the hostname without protocol

Using a number instead of a string

Omitting quotes around the URL

The baseUrl setting must be a full URL string, like "http://localhost:3000". This tells Cypress where to start tests.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to set the test files pattern in cypress.config.js.

Cypress

module.exports = {
  e2e: {
    specPattern: '[1]'
  }
};

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

A"*.spec"

B"test/*.js"

C"**/*.test.js"

D"specPattern"

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a folder name instead of a pattern

Omitting quotes

Using an incomplete pattern

The specPattern defines which test files Cypress runs. The pattern "**/*.test.js" matches all files ending with .test.js in any folder.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in setting the viewport width in cypress.config.js.

Cypress

module.exports = {
  e2e: {
    viewportWidth: [1]
  }
};

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

AviewportWidth

B"1000"

Cwidth: 1000

D1000

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Putting the number in quotes

Using an object instead of a number

Using the setting name as value

The viewportWidth must be a number, not a string or object. So use 1000 without quotes.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to set viewport height and enable video recording in cypress.config.js.

Cypress

module.exports = {
  e2e: {
    viewportHeight: [1],
    video: [2]
  }
};

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

A800

Btrue

Cfalse

D1024

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using strings instead of numbers or booleans

Setting video to a string instead of boolean

Mixing up viewportHeight and viewportWidth

viewportHeight expects a number like 800. The video setting is a boolean; true enables video recording.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to set retries, default command timeout, and base URL in cypress.config.js.

Cypress

module.exports = {
  e2e: {
    retries: [1],
    defaultCommandTimeout: [2],
    baseUrl: [3]
  }
};

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

A2

B5000

C"https://example.com"

Dtrue

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using strings for retries or timeout

Omitting quotes around baseUrl

Using boolean for retries

retries is a number for how many times to retry failed tests. defaultCommandTimeout is a number in milliseconds for command wait time. baseUrl is a string URL.
