💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using click() instead of should('exist') causes the test to try clicking before verifying presence.

Using type() is invalid for links.

Using contains() checks text but does not assert existence.

The should('exist') assertion checks if the download link is present on the page.

Complete the code to trigger the file download by clicking the link.

Cypress

cy.get('a.download-link').[1]()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using click without parentheses does not execute the command.

Using should('exist') only checks presence, does not trigger download.

trigger('download') is not a valid Cypress command.

The click() command triggers the download by clicking the link.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to verify the downloaded file exists in the downloads folder.

Cypress

cy.readFile('cypress/downloads/[1]').should('exist')

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

AdownloadedFile

BdownloadedFile.pdf

CdownloadedFile.docx

DdownloadedFile.txt

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Omitting the file extension causes the file not to be found.

Using a wrong file name causes the test to fail.

The file name must match the actual downloaded file name with extension, here downloadedFile.pdf.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to check the downloaded file size is greater than zero.

Cypress

cy.readFile('cypress/downloads/[1]').then((file) => {
  expect(file.length).[2](0)
})

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

AdownloadedFile.pdf

Bto.be.greaterThan

Cto.equal

DdownloadedFile.txt

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using to.equal instead of to.be.greaterThan will fail if file length is not exactly zero.

Using wrong file name causes file not found error.

The file name must be correct and the assertion to.be.greaterThan(0) checks the file is not empty.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to verify the downloaded file content includes the expected text.

Cypress

cy.readFile('cypress/downloads/[1]').should('[2]', 'Sample Text').then((content) => {
  expect(content).to.[3]('Sample Text')
})

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

AdownloadedFile.pdf

BdownloadedFile.txt

Ccontain

Dinclude

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong file name causes file not found error.

Using to.include instead of to.contain causes assertion error.

The file name must be correct, the should('include', 'Sample Text') checks the content includes the text, and expect(content).to.contain('Sample Text') asserts it.
