Reading file contents in Cypress - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to read a file named 'example.txt' using Cypress.

Cypress

cy.[1]('example.txt').then((content) => {
  expect(content).to.exist
})

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

AreadFile

BwriteFile

Cvisit

Dget

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'writeFile' instead of 'readFile'.

Using 'visit' which is for URLs, not files.

The readFile command reads the contents of a file in Cypress.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to assert that the file content includes the word 'Hello'.

Cypress

cy.readFile('example.txt').then((content) => {
  expect(content).to.[1]('Hello')
})

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

Aequal

Bhave.length

Cbe.empty

Dinclude

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'equal' which requires exact match.

Using 'be.empty' which checks for empty content.

The include assertion checks if the string contains the given substring.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly read a JSON file and assert a property value.

Cypress

cy.readFile('data.json').then((data) => {
  expect(data.[1]).to.equal('John')
})

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

Ausername

BName

Cname

Duser

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'Name' with uppercase 'N' which does not match the JSON property.

Using unrelated property names like 'username' or 'user'.

The JSON file has a property named name (all lowercase), so we access it as data.name.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to read a file and assert its length is greater than 10.

Cypress

cy.readFile('log.txt').then((content) => {
  expect(content.[1]).to.[2](10)
})

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

Alength

Bbe.greaterThan

Cbe.lessThan

Dlength()

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'length()' which is not a property but a method (strings use property).

Using 'be.lessThan' which checks for smaller values.

The length property gives the string length, and be.greaterThan asserts it is more than 10.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to read a JSON file, filter users older than 18, and assert the count.

Cypress

cy.readFile('users.json').then((users) => {
  const adults = users.filter(user => user.[1] [2] 18)
  expect(adults.[3]).to.equal(3)
})

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

Aage

B>

Clength

Dname

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'name' instead of 'age' for filtering.

Using '<' instead of '>' operator.

Checking 'length()' instead of 'length' property.

We filter by the age property, use the greater than operator >, and check the length of the filtered array.
