I have seen posts such as
[Cypress - run test in iframe](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57605596/cypress-run-test-in-iframe/57609872#57609872) for how to handle *iframes* in Cypress. But I am using the old and outdated ***frames***, which is what a legacy system (that I have to test) uses.

I have checked [Github -Cypress iframes](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/685) which is recommended by Cypress, but haven't found an answer for plain old frames. Using the solution for iframe, hasn't worked.

The problem is the same as with an iframe where, when trying to select an element using

```
cy.get('input').type('test');

```

you receive an **AssertionError** stating:

```
Timed out retrying after 4000ms: Expected to find element: input, but never found it.

```

Any advice is appreciated.
