What you will learn
- Cypress commands are queued and queries retry until assertions pass.
- cy.intercept stubs or waits on network calls.
- data-cy attributes keep selectors stable.
How Cypress thinks
Cypress commands do not run immediately; they are queued and executed in order. Queries like cy.get retry, together with the assertions chained after them, until they pass or time out.
Understanding that model explains most beginner confusion, such as why you cannot assign a cy.get result to a variable.
