describe('My First Test', () => {
  it('Visits Replpad', () => {
    cy.visit('/')
    cy.get('input').type('now')
  })
}) 

Trying to type some text into the bottom input field but it times out trying to find the input field. I've extended the time out period up to 10,000 but it still doesn't see the input field.

Is there a solution to this?

• why not just look into the DOM as it shown in the Cypress runner after you've execute your test? It shows it exactly as it was at the moment when Cypress was trying to find the input element. – Mikhail Bolotov Commented Dec 19, 2021 at 14:59

1 Answer 1

instead of

cy.get('input').type('now')

try

cy.get('.input').type('now')

because you are looking for the class name not for the tag
