Cypress - Authentication and Sessions

What will happen when the following code runs?

cy.session('admin', () => {
  cy.visit('/login')
  cy.get('#username').type('admin')
  cy.get('#password').type('password')
  cy.get('button[type=submit]').click()
})
cy.session('admin')

AThe session is cleared after the first call

BThe login steps run every time cy.session('admin') is called

CThe login steps run only once; subsequent calls reuse the session

DThe test will fail due to missing callback in second cy.session call

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand session caching behavior
The first call creates and caches the session by running login steps.
Step 2: Analyze second call
Calling cy.session('admin') reuses cached session without rerunning login.
Final Answer:
The login steps run only once; subsequent calls reuse the session -> Option C
Quick Check:
Session reuse = D [OK]

Quick Trick: Session callback runs once; reuse by name later [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Thinking login runs every time
Expecting error without callback on reuse
Assuming session clears automatically
