Chunk has come up with the following:

  • Root cause: Race condition in test "Authenticated default user can see balance update after deposit" where the balance check occurs before backend completes deposit processing. After deposit submission, the test immediately navigates to /home and queries #current-balance without waiting for the transaction to be committed to the database.
  • Proposed fix: Add cy.intercept() to wait for the balance API call to complete after deposit and before asserting the updated balance. This ensures the backend has processed the transaction and the UI reflects the committed state. Alternative approaches include explicit waits or increased assertion timeouts.
  • Verification: Unable to run verification tests, so confidence in this fix is limited. See the troubleshooting guide for creating a .circleci/cci-agent-setup.yml file to ensure tests can be executed in subsequent runs.

**Chunk has come up with the following:**
- **Root cause:** Race condition in test "Authenticated default user can see balance update after deposit" where the balance check occurs before backend completes deposit processing. After deposit submission, the test immediately navigates to `/home` and queries `#current-balance` without waiting for the transaction to be committed to the database.
- **Proposed fix:** Add `cy.intercept()` to wait for the balance API call to complete after deposit and before asserting the updated balance. This ensures the backend has processed the transaction and the UI reflects the committed state. Alternative approaches include explicit waits or increased assertion timeouts.
- **Verification:** Unable to run verification tests, so confidence in this fix is limited. See the [troubleshooting guide](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/product-launch-agentic-capability-fixing-flaky-tests/53975) for creating a `.circleci/cci-agent-setup.yml` file to ensure tests can be executed in subsequent runs.
