I have tried with get the property of onclick but its displaying undefined, if any one have a code please post here.

Answer 1

The "Open Window" button uses the window.open method to load a new url in a new browser window. There are two ways to test this.

Stubbing

You can stub the window.open method and check it was called.

cy.visit(url, {
 onBeforeLoad (win) {
   cy.stub(win, 'open').as('open')
 }
})
cy.get('#openwindow').click()
cy.get('@open').should('have.been.calledOnce')

Loading on the same window

You can also have the url loaded in the same window as the cypress test runner.

cy.visit(url)
cy.window().then(win => {
  cy.stub(win, 'open').callsFake((url, target) => {
    expect(target).to.be.undefined
    // call the original `win.open` method
    // but pass the `_self` argument
    return win.open.wrappedMethod.call(win, url, '_self')
  }).as('open')
})
cy.get('#openwindow').click()
cy.get('@open').should('have.been.calledOnce')
