I'm using Cypress Studio to generate test scripts, and I noticed an issue with how it selects elements. Consider the following line generated by Cypress Studio:
cy.get('[data-cy="kam.customer.basic-details.customer-name-input"] input').clear().type('test_1');
The problem is that there are multiple elements matching this selector, but Cypress Studio does not add any indexing. So, when I run the test again, it sometimes fails because it selects the wrong element (or multiple elements).
For example, if I manually add indexing like this:
cy.get('[data-cy="kam.customer.basic-details.customer-name-input"]').find('input').eq(0).clear().type('test_1');
It works, but I want to know:
1. Why doesn't Cypress Studio automatically handle multiple matching elements?
2. Is there a way to configure Cypress Studio to generate more reliable selectors?
3. What are the best practices to avoid this issue when using Cypress Studio for test recording?
Any suggestions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
