Cypress cy.clear() method not properly clearing input fields—what could be the issue?

Hi, so you’re facing issues with Cypress’s clear() method,? Well, let’s dive in. So, here’s the deal: sometimes, that clear() command can act all finicky if the input field isn’t fully visible or interactive on the page. But fret not! Cypress has got our back with its chaining magic. We can add a little assurance with should(‘be.visible’) before the clear() to make sure that input field is all set and ready to be cleared. It’s like making sure your stage is set before the big performance!

Hey there! So, you know how sometimes things just need a little extra time to get their act together? Well, it’s kinda like that with Cypress’s clear() method too. Introducing a tiny delay between clears can really help smooth out any timing hiccups or asynchronous quirks. It’s like giving the input field a moment to catch its breath between rounds of clearing. So, let’s clear it once, wait a bit, and then clear it again.

Hey hey! Alright, let’s talk about brute force – in a Cypress context, of course. So, when all else fails, there’s this nifty { force: true } option for clear(). It’s like going full Hulk mode on that stubborn input field! But hey, use it wisely. While it can bulldoze through visibility or interactability issues, it might not always play nice with your test scenarios. So, unleash the force cautiously, my friend.
