In this video, I refactor the page object method that deletes a customer.
- add a log message
- use cy.contains(selector, text) rather than the longer cy.get(selector).contains(text)
- explicit "confirm" stub and check that the stub was called with expected argument
- confirm the application routes to the correct URL after deleting
delete() {
cy.log('**deleting the customer**');
cy.on(
'window:confirm',
cy
.stub()
.returns(true)
// @ts-expect-error
.as('confirm')
);
cy.contains('button', 'Delete').click();
cy.get('@confirm').should('have.been.calledOnceWith', 'Really delete?');
cy.location('pathname').should('eq', '/customer');
}
