One nice side benefit of using cypress-magic-backend plugin in the Playback mode is that you can now run tests that depend on the backend state independently of each other. This video shows how running the second test by itself in a spec where the first test sets everything up is now working.

![Case-Insensitive Query With Retries
This video shows how you can use Cypress.$ jQuery method to select elements without matching the attribute casing. While cy.get does not allow you to pass i suffix to mark the CSS selector case-insensitive (see bug https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/25304) you can work around it by using Cypress.$(... i) or even retry it by doing cy.wrap(Cypress).invoke($, ...i)
// static page, lets find all buttons with class btn-primary or bTn-PrImArY
cy.wrap(Cypress.$(button[class=btn-primary i])).should(
have.length,
2,
)
// dynamic page, retry the query
cy.wrap(Cypress)
.invoke($, button[class=btn-primary i])
.should(have.length, 2)

![Use cy.filter Command To Filter Elements By Child Element Presence
We can use the cy.filter command to filter DOM elements by the presence of some child elements. For example, to find all LI elements that have an element inside with class new, we can do the following (this example also verifies the elements own text)
// confirm 2 new elements
cy.get(li).filter(:has(.new)).should(have.length, 2)
// confirm the elements without new label
// have specific tet
cy.get(li)
.filter(:not(:has(.new)))
.map(childNodes.0.nodeValue)
.mapInvoke(trim)
.should(deep.equal, [Grapes, Pears])
Note: map and mapInvoke commands come from the plugin https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-map
