[Solved] Find the issue in this Cypress test code:cy.clearLocalStorage() cy.window().then(win => { const data = win.localStorage.getItem('data') expect(data).to.equal('test') }) | Cypress

Cypress - Authentication and Sessions

Find the issue in this Cypress test code:

cy.clearLocalStorage()
cy.window().then(win => {
  const data = win.localStorage.getItem('data')
  expect(data).to.equal('test')
})

AgetItem should be called with cy.getItem()

BlocalStorage cannot be accessed inside cy.window()

Cexpect syntax is incorrect; should use should('equal')

DclearLocalStorage is asynchronous; expect runs before clearing completes

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand asynchronous behavior
cy.clearLocalStorage() is async; next commands run before clearing finishes.
Step 2: Identify timing issue
Expect runs immediately, so data may not be cleared yet, causing test failure.
Final Answer:
clearLocalStorage is asynchronous; expect runs before clearing completes -> Option D
Quick Check:
Wait for async commands before assertions [OK]

Quick Trick: Chain .then() after clearLocalStorage before assertions [OK]
