How to wait for an element using Cypress?

Hey there so waiting for elements in Cypress, a crucial aspect for stable tests. Here’s how you can ensure that an element becomes visible within a specific timeframe:
// Give this element 10 seconds to appear
cy.get('[data-test=submitIsVisible]', { timeout: 10000 }).should('be.visible');
And remember, Cypress itself provides detailed guidance on this topic in their official documentation: How can I make Cypress wait until something is visible in the DOM.

Now, when you’re crafting your tests, it’s not just about following guides, sometimes you need to add your own touch for specific scenarios. So, here’s a little something you can do to customize your waiting strategy:
// Wait for the element with a custom timeout and condition
cy.get('[data-test=customElement]').should('exist').and('not.be.disabled');
Feel free to tweak this according to your needs and the behavior you're testing!
