Understanding errors on a test runner

In this section, we will dissect Cypress errors on the test runner, thus unpacking the contents of the errors thrown by Cypress and how to interpret them. We will cover different types of information that are present in Cypress errors, including the error name, the error message, the code frame file, the stack trace, the print to console option, and learn more. Understanding errors in Cypress will not only help us write better tests but also guide us through the debugging process when our tests fail.

Cypress excels when it comes to logging exceptions in a test failure event. Cypress not only logs information about which tests are failing but goes ahead and drills into specific information about the error that was encountered. Errors such as successful test executions are visible on the Cypress command log and provide descriptive pieces of information that could have led to the error being encountered. At times, Cypress even prints suggestions...
