How do I use async/await in Cypress tests?

You can use async/await in Cypress by wrapping your test code in an async function. This allows you to write asynchronous code more cleanly.

Can you give me an example of that?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

it('should wait for an element', async () => {
  await cy.visit('https://example.com');
  await cy.get('.my-element').should('be.visible');
});

Are there any limitations when using async/await in Cypress?

Yes, Cypress commands are inherently asynchronous, so using async/await can lead to unexpected behavior if not handled properly. It's best to use Cypress's built-in commands without mixing them with async/await.

What should I do instead of using async/await?

Instead of async/await, you can chain Cypress commands directly. Cypress automatically waits for commands to complete, which simplifies the flow.
