Yup, your getByData is incorrect. See my example, not single quotes but backticks to get JavaScript template literal strings (which insert the value of the

selector

variable into the string

I'm having an issue setting my mailosaur API key in the

config.ts

. If I hard code the string

MAILOSAUR_API_KEY: <"my-api-key">

my tests work just fine. But I need to put all apikeys and such in a separate

cypress.env.json

. Referencing the mailosaur server ID in test code works just fine. When I hard code the apikey string the tests work just fine. To be super clear this works:

env: {
  MAILOSAUR_API_KEY: "<my-api-key>",
},

I want this to work:

env: {
  MAILOSAUR_API_KEY: Cypress.env("mailosaurApiKey"),
},

Or this:

env: {
  MAILOSAUR_API_KEY: `${Cypress.env("mailosaurApiKey")}`,
},

But the last two do not work.

This happens because the configuration file is executed before "cypress" is running. So the command "Cypress.env" has no way to work...

Change the location from where Mailosaur looks for API Keys directly to the ENV file. Or set these values ​​in the Config file directly from the command line or action

Of course. So maybe it makes sense to define the ApiKey somewhere else? Like the

e2e.ts

in support?

Search for Keys directly in cypress.env.json.

I just figured it out. I had

"mailosaurApiKey":

in my

cypress.env.json

I just needed to change it to

"MAILOSAUR_API_KEY"

You were correct though, I think Cypress was looking in the correct place, I had just named it incorrectly.

Thank you very much. Yes, that worked.

Hi All, I’m working on a project using cypress version 9.7.0 and experimentalSessionAndOrigin set to true

When I run a cypress test using the command line, all is passing however when I run it using the cypress GUI and chrome, it’s hanging up on visit command and never gets to the next line

I suspect it may due to the log in process coming from a different origin, however, the configuration update to enable CORS should take care of that

Also, again, I’m not getting this error when running the same test in command line

Any ideas why this is?

The login page is loading but the typing automation never happens

Hi, I have a question if it's possible to delay request. I know it's possible to delay response with setDelay in req.continue() in cy.intercept(), but that's not what I need.

return a promise that resolves in N seconds? Covered in my "Spec 10" lesson at https://cypress.tips/courses/network-testing (paid course)

that is also for delaying response, I need to delay request

I don't think that is correct, it delays the request, but if you can explain more, that would be helpful

Bro, it delays response, request has already been sent to server ( I need to delay that sending request to server ) and when browser catches response it waits until promise is resolved.

cy.wait(2000).then(() => { //send your request here }) - i can think of this

Hi everybody I was using Cypress e2e feature and stumbled upon a strange behavior that I can’t explain. this is the test that I’m starting. It goes to google.de it looks if Germany is listed on the page and then conducts a search When the assertion succeeds in the test the afterEach is also performed without problems, but when the assertion in the test fails, the typing in the afterEach is not happening. When I pass force:true to the type command it works, but I want to understand why the input element is not actionable. describe('Visit google.de check if germany is listed and perform a search', () => { beforeEach('Visit google.de and accept cookies', () => { cy.visit('https://www.google.de/?hl=de'); cy.get('#L2AGLb').should('be.visible').click(); }) it('Check if Deutschland is listed as country - passing', () => { cy.get('.uU7dJb').should('be.visible').should('have.text', 'Deutschland'); }) it.skip('Check if Deutschland is listed as country - failing', () => { cy.get('.uU7dJb').should('be.visible').should('have.text', 'Deutschland1'); }) afterEach('Perform search', () => { cy.get('input[name="q"]').should('be.visible').type('test{enter}'); // cy.get('input[name="q"]').should('be.visible').type('test{enter}', {force: true}); cy.url().should('contain', 'search?q='); }) })

sorry for the not very professional example... I just wanted to recreate the problem that I have with an intern UI on a website that everyone can access

ok, so I was right, my lesson from the paid course specifically delays the request, not the response. And how simple it is will surprise you 🙂 https://github.com/bahmutov/fastify-example-tests/blob/main/cypress/integration/spec10.js

Hello everyone, when i am trying to read the file from fixture it is taking 20 mins to read that file,cy.readFile also taking the same time, is there any way I can read that file faster like under 5 mins?

I need to write a test about "buy a course". Now the problem is: after runninig successfully, the account(email address) will be recorded "already bought the course". How can I make the test run successfully multitimes?

seems like someone needs to control the data for the test

got it! How about create multiple email address automatically in cypress?

Could the cypress-maildev create new email address when running the test?
