Element is being covered by another element ({force: true} is not working)

Description

When I click a link, I expected a pop up box to happen, but I saw the error "Element is being covered by another element" happened instead, I cannot use {force: true} to override this check since I need to check the element inside the pop up box.

@pillsi Could you provide some code to run that recreates this issue? We'll need that to investigate. Otherwise we'll have to close the issue with no path forward.

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for your kind reply! Please find my code and error message in the following:

When('I click show redemption details', ()=>{ cy.get("body > mds-slide-in-panel-modal").find("mds-link").eq(0).click(); });

Then('Redemption array list should display', ()=>{ cy.get("#detail-redemption-link > mds-flyout-overlay > div:nth-child(1)").contains('21.10')})

Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Thanks! Pillsi

@pillsi We'll need a way to run the code to see the error and inspect the DOM in order to investigate. Or an example in an example app.
