Cypress - File Operations

Identify the error in this Cypress test snippet:

cy.downloadFile('https://example.com/data.json', 'cypress/downloads/data.json')
cy.readFile('cypress/downloads/data.json').should('eq', '{"key":"value"}')

AIncorrect file path syntax

BMissing cy.visit() before downloadFile

CUsing 'eq' instead of 'deep.equal' for JSON content comparison

DNo error, the code is correct

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand assertion for JSON content
Using 'eq' compares strings exactly, but JSON objects require deep equality check.
Step 2: Identify correct assertion
For JSON content, use .should('deep.equal', {"key":"value"}) instead of string comparison.
Final Answer:
Using 'eq' instead of 'deep.equal' for JSON content comparison -> Option C
Quick Check:
JSON content needs deep equality, not string eq [OK]

Quick Trick: Use deep.equal for JSON object assertions [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Comparing JSON as strings with 'eq'
Assuming cy.visit() is needed before downloadFile
