• You must have already called startLab to start the lab

• Alternatively, call performAllLabActions to test lab that is completely instruction-guided.

• If your lab contains steps that a human learner would perform outside the lab, such as interacting with a web application running within the lab or the AWS web console, you may substitute for those by running lower-level commands such as terminalType. You may still perform the remaining actions of the step using the instruction-guided commands, such as:

  • clickCodeBlockContaining
  • clickCopyToEditorContaining
  • followLink

  A human learner will be most successful if the lab can be written so that all actions the learner must take are specified within the instructions.

Instruction-Guided

This is an instruction-guided command: By using this command to ask Cypress to click on all actions within the current step, you will avoid having to remember to update your tests every time a new action is added or reviewed from the instructions. You will also verify that you are performing the actions for the expected step, even as steps are inserted or removed.
