Cypress Training Advent Lesson Day 2

Let's go 🍌🍌🍌

Today I will unlock the lesson “Spec 14” of the Cypress Network Testing Exercises course. This lesson teaches how to write recursive tests that repeat Cypress commands until some condition becomes true. I hope you like it! We are going to use the same application and the same repo with the test placeholders, so read the Advent Lesson Day 1 post, if you need to set them up.

The test reloads the page until it sees the word “Bananas”

Can you implement the test starting with this placeholder code?

it('reloads the page until it shows Bananas', () => {
  // visit the page
  // if it shows the fruit "Bananas", stop
  // else
  //   wait for 1 second for clarity
  //   reload the page
  //   check again
  // Tip: use recursion
})

Good luck!
