CypressError: A fixture file could not be found

cy.fixture() could not find the specified fixture file in the cypress/fixtures directory.

Common Causes

  1. 1File name or path is misspelled
  2. 2File is not in the cypress/fixtures directory
  3. 3File extension is missing or wrong
  4. 4File was deleted or moved

How to Fix

Verify the fixture path

// File: cypress/fixtures/users.json
// Correct:
cy.fixture('users').then((data) => { ... });

// Also correct:
cy.fixture('users.json').then((data) => { ... });

Cypress automatically resolves .json extension. Ensure the file exists at the expected path.
