Cypress - Authentication and Sessions

What will be the output of the following Cypress code snippet?

cy.window().then(win => {
  win.localStorage.setItem('user', 'Alice');
  const user = win.localStorage.getItem('user');
  cy.wrap(user).should('equal', 'Alice');
});

ATest will fail due to syntax error in setItem usage

BTest will fail because localStorage is not accessible

CTest will pass because 'user' is set and retrieved correctly

DTest will pass but 'user' will be undefined

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze localStorage set and get
The code sets 'user' key to 'Alice' in localStorage, then retrieves it correctly.
Step 2: Check assertion correctness
The assertion checks if retrieved value equals 'Alice', which is true, so test passes.
Final Answer:
Test will pass because 'user' is set and retrieved correctly -> Option C
Quick Check:
Set and get localStorage works, test passes [OK]

Quick Trick: Setting then getting localStorage key returns correct value [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming localStorage is inaccessible in Cypress
Thinking setItem syntax is wrong
Expecting undefined instead of stored value
