Summary

Missing password validation message85% confidence

BUG DESCRIPTION

The password validation error message is not displaying when an invalid password is entered during registration. When entering a password 'abcdefg' that lacks required special characters, capital letters, and numbers, the system should display the validation message '*Please enter 1 Special Character, 1 Capital 1, Numeric 1 Small'. Instead, the error message area remains empty (blank string returned). The form appears to be submitted or validated, but the critical user feedback about password requirements is missing. This prevents users from understanding why their password was rejected and what requirements they need to meet.

Impact

Users will be unable to complete registration successfully as they won't receive feedback about password requirements. This will lead to user frustration, abandoned registrations, and potential loss of new customers. The lack of clear password validation messages also creates a poor user experience and may give the impression of a broken or unprofessional application.

Root cause (full)

The most likely cause is that the client-side validation is either not triggering properly or the error message element is not being populated/displayed correctly. Given that this is the first run of this test case (total_runs: 1), it could indicate a recent code change that broke the validation display mechanism. The validation logic may be executing but failing to render the message in the DOM, or the test's selector for the error message element may be targeting the wrong element due to recent frontend changes.
