Hello here, I need help with some challenges. This challenge firstly, is with handling a new browser tab as cypress doesn’t support it. My research found a method which affects html elements with attribute target = _blank. But the website of my am testing does not use this on the link/site that am working on. Secondly, is loading a new extension unto the system. I found a way to load it unto cypress but I am having a challenge loading up the cypress dashboard. Thirdly, is to make cypress interact with the extension. My research only let me see way to load the extension unto cypress, not to have cypress use the extension. Can anyone here assist with these challenges please?

Copy code

js
Cypress.Commands.add("wrapWindowOpen", (target = undefined) => {
  cy.window().then((win) => {
    cy.stub(win, "open")
      .callsFake((url, target) => {
        if (target === undefined) {
          expect(target).to.be.undefined;
        } else {
          expect(target).to.eq("_blank");
        }
        return win.open.wrappedMethod.call(win, url, "_self");
      })
      .as("open");
  });
});

This is my custom command that I add in the beforeEach() and then just assert it with

Copy code

cy.get("@open").should("have.been.calledOnce");

Or you can edit the html code not to open it in a new tab

Hi All is there any plugin which tries to identify my piece of code which is taking more time in overall no of lines in spec so that we can focus on refactoring it? dont you guys think having this kind of thing will help us write performance improving specs ?

Hi freinds, I checkout a new GitLab for the Cypress cloud. When I use cypress/base:10 i have error like [410:0110/163540.997746:ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported. /root/.cache/Cypress/12.3.0/Cypress/resources/app/node_modules/@packages/server/lib/plugins/child/run_plugins.js:40 invoke = (eventId, args = []) => { ^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token = and when I use cypress/included:9.6.1 everything is fine. The first one is in the docs. Any ideas?

the base has Node v10, that's waaaaay too old

So it is linked in the documentation. What is right, then I can do my first PR to documentation 😉

a quick question (I think), about cypress tests results number for billing, in this image, is the

test results

above what counts to the general

test results

number in billing? (in this example there are four specs in total, and it says it has six

test results

), and related to that, is that independent on the number of machines you use for paralelization? (or the more machines you use, the more the cost increases?)

Anyone else experiimenting with Chat GPT to create cypress commands/tests or any custom functions? I'm getting some nice results for simple questions

Just don't ask it anything niche, haha. It will start inventing Cypress commands.

Hello Everyone, I am trying to build a dockerfile for my Cypress Test execution. I am using Cypress 12.3.0 (Preferably any version above 10). When I run the test, however, it exits immediately with the error: Test Runner unexpectedly exited via a exit event with signal SIGSEGV I went through similar issues in your github/issues page. They were all redirected to https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/18464. Accordingly, I tried out a few things: - Tried running the test with chrome browser using cypress run --browser chrome - Tried removing video : false in the config file (Suggested by other users. Seemed to work for them) But I am still facing the same issue. I believe that in my case, the Test runner exits even before it searches for the config file (because I removed the config file but didn't get the Could not find a Cypress configuration file error. Can anyone please help me with this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Guy, we are experiencing 20 -30 % of flakiness in test cases As we see this is due to the usage of API response before validating any new verification point is there a better way of handling explicit waits or implicit waits apart from the API responses ALL the ideas and suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thank you very much. This response has assisted with the issue of new tab opening. I still have the issues with: 1. loading of new extension into cypress dashboard 2. Making cypress interact with the extension. Thank you.

Hi guys! Anyway to disable overflow during test? I have a window with selected settings and need to iterate through each to select options, but some of them are covered by overflow and cypress treats them as ‘hidden’ and they are being omitted. Thank you!

gray-kilobyte-89541

01/11/2023, 4:16 PM

how would you disable overflow? like render your page differently?

adorable-smartphone-87280

01/11/2023, 4:20 PM

I think @boundless-pager-73753 might be asking if there is a way to run checks against the entire page, ignoring element visibility (???). This sounds like a scroll event needs to be introduced half-way through the assertions to bring those other items into view, but perhaps I'm confused about the question.

boundless-pager-73753

01/11/2023, 4:22 PM

Idk, when I uncheck overflow property manually I can see hidden elements I need to interact with. For example, I have 6 ‘select’ elements I need to access, but that window can show only 3-4, the rest is covered. I’m trying to scroll down after each iteration, but it does not help

boundless-pager-73753

01/11/2023, 4:34 PM

Copy code

assignValuesToSelectedSettings() {
        cy.get('[name="selected-settings"]').find('select').each((select) => {
            if (select.is(':visible')) {
                cy.wrap(select).scrollIntoView({ ensureScrollable: false })
                cy.wrap(select).find('option').filter(':enabled').its('length').then((optionsLength) => {
                    const random_option = Math.floor(Math.random() * optionsLength);
                    cy.wrap(select).select(random_option).scrollTo(0, 200, { ensureScrollable: false })
                })
            } else { }

        })

    }

Hello everyone. I'm trying to set up Cucumber preprocessor in my project. I've made an "$ npm install @freezing-piano-2792/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor" . How can I create a Gherkin file now? Should I just add a file like "Homepage.feature" to "e2e" folder and write Scenarios there? Do I need to add { "stepDefinitions": [ "cypress/e2e/[filepath]/**/*.{js,ts}", "cypress/e2e/[filepath].{js,ts}", "cypress/support/step_definitions/**/*.{js,ts}", ] } in package.json file? Could somebody help me with that, please. I didn't fully understand the steps from this article. https://github.com/badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor/blob/8549f80fb209233eb5c98d918267f4d86bc8ca75/docs/step-definitions.md

Hi, does anyone need a person to write cypress e2e tests with them? I am willing to automate the web application with them for free as long as I get to learn from you. I want to learn your approach of automating the task, happy path and stuff like that. I want to work on a live project, sadly my office is not using any automation tool. I personally use page object models to write clean tests, anyone can understand my tests easily. 😏
