# Cypress Tests Guide
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
[Cypress](https://www.cypress.io/) is a JavaScript End to End Testing Framework that runs in the browser.
|
|
|
|
Cypress tests run with a [local version](../packages/core/dev-test) of the CMS.
|
|
|
|
During the setup of a spec file, the relevant `index.html` and `config.yml` are copied from `packages/core/dev-test/backends/<backend>` to `dev-test`.
|
|
|
|
Tests for the `test` backend use mock data generated in `dev-test/backends/test/index.html`.
|
|
|
|
Tests for the other backends use previously [recorded data](fixtures) and stub `fetch` [calls](support/commands.js#L52). See more about recording tests data [here](#recording-tests-data).
|
|
|
|
## Run Tests Locally
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn test:e2e # builds the demo site and runs Cypress in headless mode with mock data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Debug Tests
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn develop # starts a local dev server with the demo site
|
|
yarn test:e2e:exec # runs Cypress in non-headless mode with mock data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Recording Tests Data
|
|
|
|
When recording tests, access to the relevant backend API is required, thus one must set up a `.env` file in the root project directory in the following format:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
GITHUB_REPO_OWNER=owner
|
|
GITHUB_REPO_NAME=repo
|
|
GITHUB_REPO_TOKEN=tokenWithWritePermissions
|
|
GITHUB_OPEN_AUTHORING_OWNER=forkOwner
|
|
GITHUB_OPEN_AUTHORING_TOKEN=tokenWithWritePermissions
|
|
|
|
GITLAB_REPO_OWNER=owner
|
|
GITLAB_REPO_NAME=repo
|
|
GITLAB_REPO_TOKEN=tokenWithWritePermissions
|
|
|
|
BITBUCKET_REPO_OWNER=owner
|
|
BITBUCKET_REPO_NAME=repo
|
|
BITBUCKET_OUATH_CONSUMER_KEY=ouathConsumerKey
|
|
BITBUCKET_OUATH_CONSUMER_SECRET=ouathConsumerSecret
|
|
|
|
NETLIFY_API_TOKEN=netlifyApiToken
|
|
NETLIFY_INSTALLATION_ID=netlifyGitHubInstallationId
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> The structure of the relevant repo should match the settings in [`config.yml`](../packages/core/dev-test/backends/<backend>/config.yml#L1)
|
|
|
|
To start a recording run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn develop # starts a local dev server with the demo site
|
|
yarn mock:server:start # starts the recording proxy
|
|
yarn test:e2e:record-fixtures:dev # runs Cypress in non-headless and pass data through the recording proxy
|
|
yarn mock:server:stop # stops the recording proxy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> During the recorded process a clone of the relevant repo will be created under `.temp` and reset between tests.
|
|
|
|
Recordings are sanitized from any possible sensitive data and [transformed](plugins/common.js#L34) into an easier to process format.
|
|
|
|
To avoid recording all the tests over and over again, a recommended process is to:
|
|
|
|
1. Mark the specific test as `only` by changing `it("some test...` to `it.only("some test...` for the relevant test.
|
|
2. Run the test in recording mode.
|
|
3. Exit Cypress and stop the proxy.
|
|
4. Run the test normally (with mock data) to verify the recording works.
