Haven't seen many Cypress tutorials, but I'm already convinced this is one of the best.

This is course is absolutely stuning! I don't see other courses (not even paid) putting so much effort into delivering such concise knowledge.
Thank you very much Cypress Team <3

The part at 5:00 is awesome. I'm a senior dev, I know stuff. I too, spend 20 minutes talking agressivelly to non running software, now and then.

Getting this error when running npm run dev:

Any ideas how to fix it?

My time travelling debugging is not working, when i hover or click in "get h1" it says element is not visible, any ideia why ?

[MrLavrinenko]

Why when you run Cypress first time, your config files has .ts extention, but when i do, i have .js extention? 😭

One thing you might want to mention is that this won't work if the url is using https also, I was getting the same error you pointed out and had to change it to http for it to work properly.

Please make a video on email testing in cypress. Example- user will get verification email in his inbox and he should click action button in email to set his password.

I don't know why my test using data attribute is not working. I copied the exact code on the playground and pasted it to my test (of my app) as bellow:

cy.get(':nth-child(7) > It returned assertion error. Any advice are welcome! Thank you!
