Cypress Training Advent Lesson Day 4
Testing the loading element by delaying the server response
Let’s return to our Network Testing course. Today I would like you to implement the “Spec 04: The application is showing the loading element” assignment.
Tip: delay a stubbed network response. This way you easily control the time delay and know the expected text the page should display.
Bonus: the test also checks if the “loading” element goes away. Read the blog post Be Careful With Negative Assertions about negative assertions like should(‘not.contain`).

Hi Gleb, is there a reason you still need to pass #fruit in cy.contains? I thought that since it is passed in the command before in cy.get, it already asserts that #fruit is there.
