Mattermost-server: Many UI automation tests are failing in interactive_menu/basic_options_spec.js

[M-ZubairAhmed]

Summary

In UI automation test suite integration/interactive_menu/basic_options_spec.js, following tests are failing due to same element not found error.

Steps to reproduce

• Start the webhook
• Start cypress test
• Open integration/interactive_menu/basic_options_spec.js test

Expected behavior

Tests should not fail

Observed behavior (that appears unintentional)

All errors are same where they fail to find the message input field

Possible fixes

It should find the element by placeholder instead
cy.findByPlaceholderText('Select an option...')

If you can, link to the line of code that might be responsible for the problem
