EDIT: Unfortunately, it didn't work for cross-domains. ☹The whole cypress app runner in the chromedriver was redirecting to the cross-domain. Hence, the test breaks. Cross-domains on s have become a caveat for me when using Cypress and we even considered switching to a different tool because it is an essential part of our product. Thank you for a detailed tutorial. I am excited to try this. I hope it works for our test flow. 😊
Thank you for the tutorial video 😁 I spent some time trying to find an answer, and this video has helped me be able to type inside the frame. Keep up the excellent work!
Hey there, Handling s in Cypress across browsers like Firefox or Chrome involves a similar method. Here’s a concise guide: Create a Custom Command for Iframes Add a custom command in cypress/support/commands.js: Cypress.Commands.add('getIframeBody', (Selector) => { return cy.get(Selector) .its('0.contentDocument.body').should('not.be.empty') .then(cy.wrap); }); Use the Custom Command in Your Test Utilize the command to interact with elements inside the : cy.visit('example.com/page_with_'); cy.getIframeBody('-selector').find('#element_inside_').click();
Hi! Thank you very much for this video partially helped. In the case where iFrame is embedded in another iFrame how should it be written? #loginFrame > #loginMain > #loginManiApp > #username I want to reference a text input field called. So 3 levels of iFrame and a text field in it. Can you help me with this?
Hey there, We are glad to hear that the video was helpful! Dealing with nested s in Cypress can indeed be a bit tricky. When you have multiple layers of s, you need to chain your references correctly to reach the desired element. Here's a general approach for your scenario with three levels of s: Access the First iFrame: Start by getting the first and then use .its('contentDocument.body').should('not.be.empty') to ensure it's not empty. Then, you can use .then() to interact with the contents of the . Access Nested iFrames: Within each .then() call, you would repeat the process for the next , gradually drilling down to your target . Interact with the Element: Once you reach the final that contains your input field, you can interact with it as you would with any other element. We hope this helps! If you run into any specific issues or have additional questions, feel free to ask.
i encountered a difficulty in this sample. if the element that you are trying to access is within the form and the form is in the html body where it is also inside the . like it's easy to assert if it is visible the but when you are trying to assert to capture the visibility of the element that is inside the form then it cannot. i don't know why
Hey there, When dealing with s in Cypress: Access the : cy.get('[name="NameOrID"]').its('0.contentDocument.body').should('not.be.empty').then(cy.wrap) Interact with the element inside: cy.get('element-selector-inside-').should('be.visible'); Remember, Cypress operates within the same run-loop as your application. If you can't access the element inside the , ensure the is fully loaded. Sometimes, nested s can cause issues, so verify the element isn't inside another nested .
Hey there, Handling an from another origin (cross-origin ) in Cypress tests requires a different approach due to browser security policies that restrict access to s from different origins. Cypress, by default, cannot directly interact with the contents of a cross-origin because of the same-origin policy. - One common approach is to modify your Cypress configuration to bypass these restrictions, although this might not work for all scenarios, especially if the content is heavily dependent on its origin's security policies. Use cy.origin (Cypress 9.6.0+): Cypress introduced cy.origin to interact with elements across different origins. This command allows you to specify a different origin and run commands within the context of that origin. cy.origin('the--origin.com', () => { // Commands here are executed in the context of the specified origin cy.get('selector-for-element-inside-').click(); }); - For scenarios where the content is crucial for your test, and it's not feasible to interact with it directly from the client side due to cross-origin policies, consider handling the verification server-side: API Verification: Instead of interacting with the 's UI, verify the outcome of actions taken within the through backend API calls. For instance, if the is for payment processing, you can verify the transaction by querying your backend or the payment processor's API.

Hello! thanks for this video! one question: how do we handled iFrames in cypress by using firefox or any other browser? many thanks :)
Hey there,
Handling s in Cypress across browsers like Firefox or Chrome involves a similar method. Here’s a concise guide:
Create a Custom Command for Iframes
Add a custom command in cypress/support/commands.js:
Cypress.Commands.add('getIframeBody', (Selector) => {
return cy.get(Selector)
.its('0.contentDocument.body').should('not.be.empty')
.then(cy.wrap);
});
Use the Custom Command in Your Test
Utilize the command to interact with elements inside the :
cy.visit('example.com/page_with_');
cy.getIframeBody('-selector').find('#element_inside_').click();

Your videos are fantastic 🤩 Please add more tutorials as I am struggling to learn Cypress 😜
Hey Nora 👋🏻
We also have a playlist for beginners ruclips.net/p/PLZMWkkQEwOPnxrxi544nL1vdC1noooXPx
epic tutorial, good explanations, clear instructions. thank you
Glad it was helpful! 💖
Hi! great video 🤩. I would like to know if we can perform headless browser testing in Cypress.
Yes we can! Please have a look into this video ruclips.net/video/mGL7rSct3CU/видео.html
I would say this session was really lovely 🥰 Please also upload a video on how to use assertions in the Cypress framework.

Hey there,
When dealing with s in Cypress:
Access the :
cy.get('[name="NameOrID"]').its('0.contentDocument.body').should('not.be.empty').then(cy.wrap)
Interact with the element inside:
cy.get('element-selector-inside-').should('be.visible');
Remember, Cypress operates within the same run-loop as your application. If you can't access the element inside the , ensure the is fully loaded. Sometimes, nested s can cause issues, so verify the element isn't inside another nested .

Hi Habib, Thanks for the suggestion. Will surely consider this request
how to assert bold text field
Hi,
To assert the existence of a bold text field within a Cypress , you can use the "cy.()" command to target the and then use the "cy.get()" command to locate the bold text field within the . You can then use the "should()" assertion to verify the field's existence or its contents.
Cypress still can't find the ID for me. So weird.
Hey Emanuel 👋🏻
Can you please share a bit more about the code you are working on, it help us reproduce the issue and debug it.
