    Hello all đź‘‹ I am currently working on
  • g
    Let me read up on sudo first because I’m pretty sure I installed yarn with sudo. What is the best way to install yarn then?
  • m

    So I removed my yarn and cypress packages I installed on my machine and installed yarn through core pack. Yarn works. When running a yarn command in a project that uses docker for some processes I get permission denied from docker.
  • m
    I think for docker you need to add your user to the docker group. https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/#manage-docker-as-a-non-root-user

    Hello Guys, i have updated cypress to the new version and when i run the tests i can not see left window with the test description, errors etc. Please look at the photo
  • g
    When running 
    getent group
    it lists docker as part of the group but still get permission issues when running docker without sudo. Also, when running 
    sudo groupadd docker
    it states docker already exists.

    I think you need to run the app locally as well
  • m
    So do I have to run the test locally first, using the command line and then i will be able to do it using cypress application?

    So running into a issue with finding the correct way on how to validate the current date is showing correctly in a date picker. For example today is Sep 27, 2022 and that is what the calendar is showing but don't know how to actually implement that in a test case. If anyone has a idea. can you point me in the right direction.

    @mysterious-belgium-25713 thx for helping me debug. I followed the steps here to add docker to my user group. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48957195/how-to-fix-docker-got-permission-denied-issue

    It is our first project with cypress. Now some elements have not "id", and we could not catch it correctly when running test. Some engineers think that we could not achieve the test stability if we do not add "id" to the elements. My question is : Can we realize stability by improving our cypress code? Should we add "id" or improve our cypress code? Thank you so much!

    darn still having cypress issues though. Cypress is not installed on my computer anymore but installed it in my project using yarn. I still get this: @mysterious-belgium-25713

    Hi yanyan, There are really multiple ways into doing test automation, the need for ID is not always there. You can use ID/Classes/Field+attributes all things unique. Next to that cypress has also a preffered way and that is using data-cy. Please look at the best practices. https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/best-practices#How-It-Works

    Maybe do a yarn install in the folder again or yarn run cypress install. I think that should resolve this issue
  • g
    this may be a yarn version issue -- checking on this now

    Thank you so much!!

    Hi , is there a robust way of integrating Cypress with Testrail? The thing is I jave junit xml test results which are also published in AzureDevOps, but I would like to publish those test results in a new Testrail run, as well. TRCLI is not suitable for me because I need to link existing testcase IDs to Cypress tests. Any idea how I can manage it? Somehow cypress-testrail-reporter and cypress-testrail-simple both giving errors

    Nice to hear everything is working.

    I need to click a "send" button to send an email to an email address, and then after cy.wait(10000), cypress can request the email message from the email address. My question is how I can wait for the email message without using cy.wait(10000). I want cypress to check it automatically. Thank you!

    Hello, I was previously using cypress v7 for a while. I had a few custom cypress commands to mock my login state, and other small things. I recently upgraded to v10 and I can’t get any of my commands to work anymore. “Command is not a function” is all that happens. The docs look as if I’m doing everything exactly correct too, I need a bit of help getting passed this road block

    Thank you so much! I will check it.

    hi guys, I am trying to use cy.session for login test case but the cy.session doesnt seem to work. I am using cypress10.6 version.Can someone one help
  • p
    Copy code
    Cypress.Commands.add('login', (username, password) => {
  cy.session([username, password], () => {
    cy.visit('/');
    cy.contains('Login').click();
    cy.findAllByLabelText('Username').should('exist').click().type(username);
    cy.findAllByLabelText('Password').should('exist').click().type(password);
    cy.contains('Sign in').should('be.visible').click();

    cy.intercept('GET', '/api/v1/oktaConfig').as('exp');
    // once a request to get authentication responds, 'cy.wait' will resolve
    cy.wait('@exp').then(intercept => {
      expect(intercept.response.statusCode).to.be.eq(200); //should work
    });

    cy.url().should('contains', '/login/callback');
  });
  cy.visit('/');
});
  • s
    Firstly you should move 
    cy.intercept('GET', '/api/v1/oktaConfig').as('exp')
    outside of your function, as you are declaring it too late (after this click/submit is too late). i.e.
    Copy code
    cy.intercept('GET', '/api/v1/oktaConfig').as('exp')
Cypress.Commands.add('login', (username, password) => {
...
  • s
    And I don't believe your intercept URL syntax is correct. But the solution depends on your full request URL. You are obviously chopping off the URL origion, so let's add 
    **
    at the beginning, try this: 
    cy.intercept('GET', '**/api/v1/oktaConfig').as('exp')
    and I don't know if you are chopping off the end URL path, if yes then try this: 
    cy.intercept('GET', '**/api/v1/oktaConfig/*').as('exp')
    And as mentioned above this should be moved before the first 
    cy.visit()
    Copy code
    Cypress.Commands.add('login', (username, password) => {
  cy.session([username, password], () => {
    cy.intercept('GET', '**/api/v1/oktaConfig/*').as('exp')
      cy.visit('/');
      ...

    Hello everyone, I'm struggling to change the following lines to one test per found link :
    Copy code
    it('check all links', () => {
  cy.visit('/')
  cy.get("a:not([href*='mailto:'])").each(page => {
    cy.request(page.prop('href'))
  })
});
    I tried the following :
    Copy code
    var links = []
it("setup", () => {
  cy.visit("/")
  cy.get("a:not([href*='mailto:'])").each((page) => {
    links.push(page.prop("href"))
  })
})

links.forEach((link) => {
    it(`Checking ${link}`, () => {
        cy.request(link)
    })
})
    But only the very first test "setup" is run and the loop does not execute any test. What would be the good approach to do it correctly ?
