You want to test uploading multiple files at once using cy.selectFile. Which code snippet correctly uploads two files named doc1.pdf and image1.png located in the fixtures folder?
cy.selectFile accepts an array of file paths to upload multiple files. Each path must be relative to the fixtures folder or absolute.
Step 2: Evaluate each option
cy.get('input[type=file]').selectFile(['cypress/fixtures/doc1.pdf', 'cypress/fixtures/image1.png']) correctly provides an array with full fixture paths. cy.get('input[type=file]').selectFile('cypress/fixtures/doc1.pdf, cypress/fixtures/image1.png') uses a single string with comma-separated paths, which is invalid. cy.get('input[type=file]').selectFile({ files: ['doc1.pdf', 'image1.png'] }) uses an object with files array but missing paths. cy.get('input[type=file]').selectFile(['doc1.pdf', 'image1.png']) uses array without fixture folder path, which will fail.
Final Answer:
cy.get('input[type=file]').selectFile(['cypress/fixtures/doc1.pdf', 'cypress/fixtures/image1.png']) -> Option C
Quick Check:
Array of fixture paths = Correct multiple upload [OK]
Quick Trick:Use array of full fixture paths for multiple files [OK]
Common Mistakes:
Passing comma-separated string instead of array
Omitting fixture folder in paths
Using object without correct file paths
