Cypress Training Advent Lesson Day 5
Control the application clock from your test 🕰
Can you become a time traveler and zoom into the future? No? What if I told you there was a command for that? First, freeze the clock using the cy.clock command, then advance it instantly by N milliseconds using the cy.tick command. Today, could you implement the “Spec 11: Test how the application makes a network request every minute” lesson and confirm the application fetches a new fruit every minute?
Do Not Miss
I usually don’t compare testing tools. But tomorrow (Tuesday, Dec 6th) I will give a presentation titled “The Debate Between Cypress and Playwright“ at https://testguild.com/globaltestingsummit/. You might find it useful.
