![Dispatch Custom HTML Events From Cypress Tests
Sometimes an element on the page subscribes to custom events. You can dispatch events using plain HTML method el.dispatchEvent or by using Cypress command cy.trigger
cy.get(#signal).then(function ($el) {
$el[0].dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent(go))
})
// using cy.trigger
cy.get(#signal).trigger(warn)
