Cases when Cypress does not work

Does not work
  1. Unsupported Browsers: Cypress does not support Internet Explorer (IE) and Opera browsers. It is designed to work with modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. If your application requires testing on IE or Opera, you will need to consider alternative testing frameworks.
  2. Mobile Testing: Cypress primarily focuses on web application testing and does not provide native support for mobile testing. If you need to test your application on mobile devices, you will have to explore other tools specifically designed for mobile testing, such as Appium or Selenium WebDriver.
  3. File Uploads: Cypress does not support file uploads directly. Due to browser security restrictions, Cypress cannot interact with the file upload dialog box. However, there are workarounds available using third-party libraries or custom scripts to handle file uploads in Cypress.
  4. Pop-up Windows: Cypress does not have built-in support for handling pop-up windows or new browser tabs. Interacting with pop-ups may require additional workarounds or custom code to switch between windows and perform actions within them.
  5. External Resources: If your web application heavily relies on external resources like iFrames, cross-origin APIs, or third-party integrations, Cypress may face limitations in interacting with these resources. You may need to modify your application or consider alternative testing approaches.
  6. Performance Testing: While Cypress is excellent for functional testing, it may not be the ideal choice for performance testing or load testing scenarios. If you specifically require performance testing capabilities, you might need to use tools like JMeter or Gatling in conjunction with Cypress.
