💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Importing from plugin instead of support.

Using incorrect path like core or utils.

The correct import for enabling cypress-real-events support is cypress-real-events/support.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using standard click() instead of realClick().

Using incorrect command names like clickReal.

The realClick() command triggers a native click event using cypress-real-events.

Fix the error in the code to type text 'hello' using native keyboard events.

Cypress

cy.get('input').[1]('hello');

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using typeReal instead of realType.

Using standard type() which does not trigger native events.

The correct command to type text with native events is realType().

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to trigger a native hover and then a native click on a button with class 'btn'.

Cypress

cy.get('.btn').[1]().[2]();

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

ArealHover

CclickReal

DrealClick

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using hoverReal instead of realHover.

Using clickReal instead of realClick.

Use realHover() to trigger native hover, then realClick() for native click.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to chain native events: focus, type 'test', and blur on an input with name 'email'.

Cypress

cy.get('input[name="email"]').[1]().[2]('test').[3]();

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using focusReal instead of realFocus.

Using standard type() instead of realType.

Using blurReal instead of realBlur.

Use realFocus() to focus, realType() to type text, and realBlur() to blur the input with native events.

Practice

1. What is the main purpose of using cypress-real-events in Cypress tests?

easy

A. To generate random test data automatically

B. To speed up test execution by skipping events

C. To simulate real native browser events like clicks and typing

D. To replace Cypress commands with custom assertions

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand the role of native events in UI testing

   Native events like clicks and typing trigger real browser behaviors that Cypress commands sometimes do not fully simulate.

2. Step 2: Identify what cypress-real-events provides

   This plugin sends real native events to elements, improving test accuracy and reliability.

3. Final Answer:

   To simulate real native browser events like clicks and typing -> Option C

4. Quick Check:

   Native event simulation = C [OK]

Hint: Remember: real-events means real user-like browser events [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Thinking it speeds up tests by skipping events
• Confusing it with data generation tools
• Assuming it replaces assertions

2. Which of the following is the correct syntax to import and use realClick from cypress-real-events in a test?

easy

A. import { realClick } from 'cypress-real-events'; cy.get('button').realClick();

B. import realClick from 'cypress-real-events'; cy.realClick('button');

C. require('cypress-real-events').realClick('button');

D. cy.get('button').clickReal();

Solution

1. Step 1: Check the correct import style for ES modules

   The plugin exports named functions, so use import { realClick } from 'cypress-real-events'.

2. Step 2: Use the function on a Cypress element

   Call realClick() on the element returned by cy.get().

3. Final Answer:

   import { realClick } from 'cypress-real-events'; cy.get('button').realClick(); -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   Named import + method on element = B [OK]

Hint: Use named imports and call on element chain [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Using default import instead of named import
• Calling realClick directly on cy object
• Using require syntax in ES module context

3. Given the code below, what will be the result of the test?

cy.get('#input').realType('Hello');
cy.get('#input').should('have.value', 'Hello');

medium

A. The test passes because realType types the text correctly

B. The test fails because realType does not change input value

C. The test throws a syntax error due to wrong method name

D. The test passes but input value is empty

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand what realType does

   realType sends native keyboard events to type text into input fields, updating their value.

2. Step 2: Check the assertion

   The assertion checks if the input's value matches the typed text, which should be true after realType.

3. Final Answer:

   The test passes because realType types the text correctly -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   realType updates input value = D [OK]

Hint: realType simulates typing, so input value updates [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Assuming realType does not affect input value
• Confusing realType with click methods
• Expecting syntax errors from correct method

4. You wrote this test but it fails:

cy.get('#submit').realClick();

What is the most likely reason for failure?

medium

A. The selector '#submit' is invalid syntax

B. realClick is not a valid method in cypress-real-events

C. You forgot to import Cypress

D. The element is not visible or not interactable

Solution

1. Step 1: Check if element is visible and interactable

   realClick requires the element to be visible and enabled to send native click events.

2. Step 2: Verify method and selector correctness

   realClick is valid and selector syntax is correct, so these are unlikely causes.

3. Final Answer:

   The element is not visible or not interactable -> Option D

4. Quick Check:

   Element visibility needed for realClick = A [OK]

Hint: Check element visibility before realClick [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Assuming realClick method does not exist
• Blaming selector syntax without checking visibility
• Forgetting to import cypress-real-events functions

5. You want to test a hover tooltip that only appears on a real mouse hover event. Which cypress-real-events method should you use to trigger this tooltip reliably?

hard

A. realClick()

B. realHover()

C. realType()

D. realFocus()

Solution

1. Step 1: Identify the event that triggers the tooltip

   Tooltips often appear on mouse hover events, which require a real mouseover or hover event.

2. Step 2: Match the correct cypress-real-events method

   realHover() sends native mouse hover events, triggering tooltips reliably.

3. Final Answer:

   realHover() -> Option B

4. Quick Check:

   Hover event needs realHover() = A [OK]

Hint: Use realHover() to simulate mouse hover events [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Using realClick() instead of realHover() for hover effects
• Trying realType() which types text, not hover
• Using realFocus() which focuses but doesn't hover
