How do I handle timeouts in Cypress tests?

How do I handle timeouts in Cypress tests?

In Cypress, you can handle timeouts by using the timeout option in your commands. For example, you can set a timeout for a specific command like this: cy.get('selector', { timeout: 10000 }).

What if I want to set a default timeout for all commands?

You can set a default timeout for all commands in your Cypress configuration file (cypress.json) by adding a defaultCommandTimeout property. For example: { "defaultCommandTimeout": 10000 }.

Are there any best practices for using timeouts?

Yes, it's best to use timeouts judiciously. Avoid setting them too high, as it can lead to longer test runs. Instead, try to identify the root cause of slow tests and optimize them.

Can I override the timeout for a specific test?

Absolutely! You can override the timeout for a specific test by using the this.timeout() function within your test. For example: it('my test', function() { this.timeout(15000); }).
