cy.downloadFile('https://example.com/users.csv', 'cypress/downloads', 'users.csv') .then(() => { cy.readFile('cypress/downloads/users.csv').should('contain', 'ID, Name, Email').and('not.be.empty') }) uses should('contain', ...) and .and('not.be.empty') correctly to check content and non-empty file.Final Answer:
