How Cypress Handles Asynchronous Operations
Timeouts
2
Introduction

• Cypress automatically handles asynchronous
  operations, making it easier to manage tasks like
  waiting for elements or server responses.
• No need for manual waits or retries in most cases.

3
Understanding Asynchronous Operations

• Asynchronous operations include events like
  network requests, timers, and animations.
• Cypress ensures that it waits for these
  operations to complete before proceeding with the
  next command.

4
Cypress's Automatic Waiting

• Cypress automatically waits for elements to
  appear, load, and become actionable.
• It continuously retries actions until the element
  is in the desired state, eliminating the need for
  arbitrary set Timeouts.

5
Command Chaining

• Cypress commands are chained together to manage
  asynchronous operations smoothly.
• Each command in the chain waits for the previous
  command to finish, reducing complexity.

6
Built-In Timeouts

• By default, Cypress commands have built-in
  timeouts (e.g., 4 seconds for DOM elements).
• Timeouts can be customized per test or globally
  to handle specific needs.

7
Handling Long Asynchronous Operations

• For longer asynchronous tasks (e.g., slow network
  requests), timeouts can be extended using the
  timeout value option.
• Example .get('.element', timeout 10000)
  increases the timeout to 10 seconds.

8
Retry Mechanism

• Cypress automatically retries failed assertions
  or commands within the timeout window.
• This ensures reliability by accounting for
  dynamic changes in elements or network delays.

9
Conclusion

• Cypress simplifies asynchronous operations and
  timeouts with automatic waiting, retries, and
  command chaining.
• By default, it manages these operations
  efficiently, but custom options allow for greater
  flexibility when needed.
