Your starter code already declares TEST_URL — never hardcode a host.

Objective

Assert a request body. Practise it against the Gear Shop practice application (A product grid loaded from a real API with search, filters, infinite scroll and a checkout that calls a payments API.).

Your task

  1. 1Open the practice application at the test URL shown above and wait for it to finish loading.
  2. 2Inspect the page to find the elements you need — key elements include #search-box, #category-filter, #sort-select.
  3. 3Write and run a test that demonstrates: assert a request body.
  4. 4Finish with at least one assertion on a user-visible outcome, not an internal detail.

Acceptance criteria

  • The test runs to completion without errors.
  • The test contains at least one passing assertion on a user-visible outcome.
