Cypress - Modern Automation Testing from Scratch + Framework - Handling Child Tab with a Combination of Cypress and jQue

The video tutorial explains how Cypress handles child tabs differently from other automation tools like Selenium. It highlights the limitations of Cypress in dealing with child windows due to its architecture aimed at non-flaky automation. The tutorial provides a workaround by manipulating the DOM to open links in the same tab using the target attribute. It introduces the invoke method in Cypress to remove attributes via jQuery functions, ensuring the automation continues smoothly without opening new tabs.

What is a limitation of Cypress when dealing with child tabs?

• Cypress can handle child tabs like any other automation tool.

• Cypress does not support switching to child tabs.

• Cypress can only handle child tabs in Firefox.

• Cypress requires a plugin to handle child tabs.

What is the purpose of the target attribute in HTML?

• To specify where to open the linked document.

• To open links in the same tab.

• To add a tooltip to the button.

• To style the button.

How does Cypress suggest handling links that open in new tabs?

• By using a plugin.

• By opening them in a new browser window.

• By manipulating the DOM to open in the same tab.

• By ignoring them.

What should you do if a link opens in a separate tab and Cypress cannot handle it?

• Report it as a bug.

• Use a different testing tool.

• Manipulate the DOM to open it in the same tab.

• Ignore the link.

What is the invoke method used for in Cypress?

• To log messages to the console.

• To start a new test.

• To stop the test execution.

• To invoke jQuery functions.

Which jQuery function is used to remove an attribute in Cypress?

• setAttribute

• toggleAttribute

• removeAttr

• addAttribute

What happens if the target attribute is removed from a link?

• The link will not work.

• The link will open in a new tab.

• The link will open in a new window.

• The link will open in the same tab.

What is a benefit of using jQuery functions in Cypress?

• They are faster than JavaScript functions.

• They are more secure.

• They allow manipulation of the DOM.

• They are easier to write.

Why does Cypress prefer opening links in the same tab?

• To support more browsers.

• To improve test speed.

• To avoid flaky tests and ensure consistent results.

• To reduce memory usage.

What is the main goal of Cypress's architecture?

• To provide a graphical user interface.

• To integrate with all browsers.

• To build non-flaky, consistent tests.

• To support multiple languages.
