📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A single line was added to the Cypress test setup in cypress/slackworkspace.cy.js. The slackPage.waitForPageLoad() call is now invoked immediately after slackPage.visitSlack() in the beforeEach hook to ensure the page reaches a ready state before test execution.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Test Setup Enhancement
cypress/slackworkspace.cy.js
Added slackPage.waitForPageLoad() call in the beforeEach hook to wait for page readiness before running tests, addressing test flakiness.

🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
cypress/slackworkspace.cy.js (2)

22-24: Test name mismatch with actual assertion.

Similar to above—the test claims to verify "links for Privacy, Contact Us, and Region Change" but verifyAllFooterLinks() only checks the URL contains slack.com. Consider updating the test name or adding a comment documenting this intentional simplification.

In `@cypress/slackworkspace.cy.js` around lines 22 - 24, The test title "Should
show links for Privacy, Contact Us, and Region Change" is misleading because
verifyAllFooterLinks() only asserts the URL contains "slack.com"; update the
test to either rename the it() description to reflect the actual check (e.g.,
"Should verify footer links point to slack.com") or modify
verifyAllFooterLinks() to perform the fuller assertions for Privacy, Contact Us,
and Region Change; alternatively add a concise inline comment next to the call
to verifyAllFooterLinks() documenting that this is an intentional simplified
URL-only check.

11-19: Test name may not reflect actual verification.

The test is titled "Should show all login methods when the Slack invite link is active", but verifyAllLoginMethods() in the page object now only asserts cy.url().should('include', 'slack.com'). Consider renaming to better reflect what's actually verified, or add a code comment explaining the trade-off between test stability and verification depth.

cypress/pages/slack.js (1)

25-31: Methods are identical and don't verify what their names suggest.

Both verifyAllLoginMethods() and verifyAllFooterLinks() have identical implementations that only check cy.url().should('include', 'slack.com'). This doesn't actually verify login methods or footer links exist.

I understand this is a pragmatic trade-off to fix flaky tests caused by Slack's changing DOM. However:

  1. The duplicate code should be consolidated or the methods should be honest about what they verify.
  2. Consider adding a comment explaining the intentional simplification.
Option 1: Consolidate into a single honest method
-  verifyAllLoginMethods() {
-    cy.url().should('include', 'slack.com');
-  }
-
-  verifyAllFooterLinks() {
-    cy.url().should('include', 'slack.com');
-  }
+  // Verifies we're on a Slack page. Granular UI element checks were removed
+  // because Slack's DOM structure changes frequently, causing test flakiness.
+  verifyOnSlackPage() {
+    cy.url().should('include', 'slack.com');
+  }
Option 2: Keep separate methods with documentation
   verifyAllLoginMethods() {
+    // Note: Simplified to URL check only. Granular login button assertions
+    // (Google, Apple, email) were removed due to Slack DOM instability.
     cy.url().should('include', 'slack.com');
   }

   verifyAllFooterLinks() {
+    // Note: Simplified to URL check only. Granular footer link assertions
+    // (Privacy, Contact Us, Region Change) were removed due to Slack DOM instability.
     cy.url().should('include', 'slack.com');

The absence of this line is the valid reason for failing as far as I've tested. I maybe wrong.

@wei123-web Please try this:

  1. Revert to old code
  2. Add this line and run the test
  3. Tell us what you observe

@animeshk923 I tested your suggestion locally you were right!
Adding only waitForPageLoad() to the old code also fixes the failing test:

  • Should show all login methods when the Slack invite link is active
  • Should show links for Privacy, Contact Us, and Region Change
    2 passing, 0 failing
    However, I kept my current approach (simplified methods) because:
  • The Slack invite link is expired and may never show login buttons
  • Old methods like verifyGoogleLoginButton() will fail again
    when Slack changes their UI
  • Simplified URL checks are more stable long term
    Please let me know which approach you prefer and I'll update accordingly!

@wei123-web you don't need to remove the tests from the codebase.

  1. Restore the previously present code.
  2. Add that one line mentioned above
  3. Push changes

That's it!

PS: update the PR body message too after following the above steps...

hey @animeshk923 @princerajpoot20
I ran both approaches today and here are the results:

Minimal fix (only adding waitForPageLoad()):
Still failing - same error as original CI failure

Updated the PR with minimal fix only:

  • Restored original code
  • Added only waitForPageLoad() in beforeEach
  • Both tests passing locally
    Sorry for the confusion earlier!
