Cypress - File Operations

You wrote this Cypress test to check file upload:

cy.get('input[type=file]').selectFile('cypress/fixtures/sample.txt')
cy.get('button#upload').click()
cy.contains('Upload successful').should('be.visible')

But the test fails because the file is not uploaded. What is the likely error?

AThe button selector is wrong

BThe file path is incorrect or file missing

CThe assertion syntax is invalid

DThe input selector is missing

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check file upload step
If the file path is wrong or file missing, upload fails silently.
Step 2: Verify other selectors and assertions
Button and assertion seem correct; file path is most common cause.
Final Answer:
The file path is incorrect or file missing -> Option B
Quick Check:
Upload failure often due to wrong file path [OK]

Quick Trick: Confirm file exists at given path before testing upload [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming selectors cause upload failure
Ignoring file path correctness
Misreading assertion errors
