This makes total sense :) In the second test block "The Assignments Page" you're not logged in. You should log in using beforeEach hook in every test block. In cypress, every test is executed on clean canvas to ensure that no errors from previous tests fail the next test. Means you HAVE TO login before every test. That's why you need beforeEach hook.
Also the best practice here is to login programatically - means instead of clicking input field and typing (cy.type), send your login request with cy.request and check if it's successful in the response.
Example code of login in beforeEach hook:
beforeEach(() => {
cy.request({
method: "POST",
url: '<YOUR LOGIN ENDPOINT>',
body: {
email: <VALUE>,
pass: <VALUE>
},
form: true
}).then(response => {
expect(response.status).to.eq(200);
expect(response.body.success).to.be.true;
});
};
}
