Cypress [Solved]

I have an element that is created I believe with JS, I need to check if it exists without causing the cypress test to fail. Perhaps a custom command that returns true or false, something like cy.exists('[test-id=""something]') Any ideas?

javascrip cypress

What do you mean by "believe"? If you are not sure of the language, you can check the end of the file name. if it ends in .js, it's a Javascript file. If not, please tell us.

The element is not in the HTML initially, it appears after you press a button regardless if it is .js or .ts. I simply need to know if it exists or not with cypress e.g. before <html> <head> </head> <body> <input type="button">Some lable</input> </body> </html> after <html> <head> </head> <body> <input type="button">Some lable</input> <h1 test-id="hello">Some header</h1> </body> </html>
