    I have more details in this discussion, https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/discussions/17407
  • t
    I'm looking through the example code at https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-realworld-app and I'm interested i nthe 
    cypress/tests/api
    tests Are testing the APIs directly considered an end-to-end test?
  • b
    @User ? what do you think ?
  • t
    It's very cool to see it being used in that way; I didn't consider using Cypress in that way
  • t
    That projects is so damn good xD I hope I can write tests like that
  • t
    What's the difference between using 
    describe
    and 
    context
    ?
  • t
    Found this answer, it's apart of Mocha's api > context() is just an alias for describe(), and behaves the same way; it provides a way to keep tests easier to read and organized. Similarly, specify() is an alias for it().

    O my goodness. I'm so happy. I figured it out. And I was able to apply something new I learned about Cypress. T_T
  • a
    Does Cypress do something odd with JS modules or something? Say I have this module: 
    a.ts
    Copy code
    ts
let a = 0

export const addA = () => {
  a++
}

export const getA = () => a
    In my test file, I increase A:
    Copy code
    ts
import { addA } from 'a'

before(() => {
  addA()
})
    In my setup file I have an interceptor:
    Copy code
    ts
import { getA } from 'a'

cy.intercept({ method: 'POST', url: 'https://cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com' }, (req) => {
    console.log(getA())
})
    But it always logs 
    0
    ? This doesn't look like standard ES module behaviour, as you should be able to modify a value from a module through those functions.
  • a
    Yeah it's caching the function of the interceptor. Does it transform it only once and then re-run it each time for performance? That's a real bummer. I wonder how people then seed data on the fly and respond to it
  • a
    Is there a way I can uncollapse the list of routes by default? When cypress makes a screenshot of a failed test, the routes is collapsed but I want to see routes info, too.
  • p
    I'm trying to use "chromeWebSecurity": false in my cypress.json but on the chrome browser, I'm still getting the error message telling me to bypass the error message I need to disable chromewebsecurity
  • a
    How do people extend the Cypress Types? Since it's a namespace you can't import other (external) types, so you're almost always stuck typing things as 'any'
  • a
    Also namespaces are outdated an linters will yell at you for it
  • a
    Ok the docs need updating apparently, it needs to be declared as global for it to work, I opened an issue for it
  • f
    @bahmutov#6775 @bulky-sundown-74498 would you know if Cypress allows to access the chrome dev tools after all test runs? - would like to analyze for unused CSS rules
  • a
    So, I started exploring wonderful world of cypress, loving it so far!
  • b
    Unfortunately not right now. Cypress runs mostly inside the browser, we have minimal code inside the extension to avoid having to re-write between browsers. I wonder if a chrome extension would be able to access the dev tools, that could be an interesting tool.
  • b
    That's a great start !!! Tell us more
  • f
    An extension sounds like a way to go. Is there some docs on how to run the test in chrome with some extension installed?
  • b
  • b
    As you can see there is an extensions flag
  • a
    Debuggability mainly attracted me. So, plan to explore rwa repo by this week and have a good grasp if possible.
  • f
    👌thanks a lot @bulky-sundown-74498
  • r
    Is there a way to get results from the dashboard.io via Api or some way to use in another tool, like graphana to able to integrate as a widget into Jira or somewhere similar?
  • b
    @User do you know of any similar projects in our pipeline ?
  • b
    I know we have integration with slack and github
  • u
    I have general question. If I want to do testing for custom components that will be used in our web application, which testing will be better ? I gathered that we can do at least these 4 types of testing: 1) Unit testing 2) e2e 3) snapshot testing 4) Component testing
  • a
    A combo of 1 and 4 imo
