I want to know how to check if an element exists in the DOM of a web page in Cypress.
What would the equivalent of this piece of code in Selenium be in Cypress:
Boolean Display = driver.findElement(By.xpath("locator")).isDisplayed();
To query with an xpath locator, install the cypress-xpath extension.
Install with npm
npm install -D cypress-xpath
Install with Yarn
yarn add cypress-xpath --dev
In the test
cy.xpath(locator) // driver.findElement(By.xpath("locator"))
Add a visibility check as well,
cy.xpath(locator) // driver.findElement(By.xpath("locator"))
.should('be.visible') // isDisplayed()
or
cy.xpath(locator) // driver.findElement(By.xpath("locator"))
.should('not.be.hidden') // isDisplayed()
