Cypress automatically includes moment.js and exposes it as Cypress.moment.
Use Cypress.moment to help format or parse dates.
⚠️
Cypress.momentis deprecated in Cypress 6.1.0 and will be replaced in a future release. Consider migrating to a different datetime formatter. For example, see the recipe Using Day.js instead of Moment.js.
