Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Preserve cookies properly
Use Cypress.Cookies.preserveOnce('auth_token') inside beforeEach to keep the cookie between tests.Step 2: Handle local storage manually
Cypress does not preserve local storage by default; custom commands to save and restore local storage in beforeEach and afterEach are needed.Step 3: Evaluate options
Use Cypress.Cookies.preserveOnce('auth_token') in beforeEach and implement custom commands to save and restore local storage in beforeEach and afterEach hooks correctly combines cookie preservation and local storage management.Final Answer:
Use Cypress.Cookies.preserveOnce('auth_token') in beforeEach and implement custom commands to save and restore local storage in beforeEach and afterEach hooks -> Option BQuick Check:
Cookies preserved with preserveOnce; local storage requires manual save/restore [OK]
Quick Trick: Preserve cookies with preserveOnce; save/restore local storage manually [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Assuming Cypress preserves local storage automatically
- Calling preserveOnce only once in before hook
- Using non-existent cy.preserveCookie or cy.preserveLocalStorage commands
