    now i have the users in the cypress.env adn i want it in a database, but i don't know how to connect a database with cypress, i don't know is it possible to do it
  • i
    It is deffinetly possible to do it
  • i
    But why not use fixtures?
  • i
    I wouldn't want my test data to be dependant on a DB to be running, just adds more points of failure in my opinion
  • f
    my ultimate goal is to create certain users on a mongo database before running cypress tests by making a post call. the idea I had was to recreate a starting DB that is used at each test with all the necessary data
  • i
    If you create the users with a post call
  • i
    Get them with a get call
  • i
    Ez pz 😄
  • f
    yes of course, but first I have to recreate a starting DB that is used at each test with all the necessary data, requests from the boss😆

    I got a new job and we are using Cypress. Double yeah! I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good free or paid courses for learning how to use Cypress with React? (Best if you taken the course yourself or knows someone who has.) Thanks!
  • f
    i think udemy cource are okay for initial learning https://www.udemy.com/course/cypress-tutorial/
  • f
    or gleb on youtube

    Best would be Kent C.Dodds’s Testing Javascript course !
  • b
    I am getting that course, though seems to be better for Jest/React Testing Library and not so much for Cypress. Thanks for the suggestion!
  • b
    OK, I will take a look. Thanks!
  • f
    can cypress read the OS environment variables like windows "Path" or something else ?
  • g
    yes, from the plugin file
  • g
    yes, Cypress can connect to the database, search for "database" at https://cypress.tips/search to find difference suggestions
  • f
    Thank you; Is there a recipe I could copy from please.

    Hey folks. I try to write to test for email subscription. However, the test not pass every time that I run. It throw status 429 which is too many request. Does Cypress has any command to compensate this? I try to change the new email address every time that I submit but that seem not to be a problem. Thanks in advance guys!

    Hello there, I try to write a test for user reset password for perticular URL. So, when user type his New Password, he has to verify his identity. The email i am using is from different domin (mailsurp) and not the same domian which I use for next steps. I am not getting this verification email in to my Mailsurp Inbox. When I run my code, it stops at this point and throw a "CypressError". I am not sure where the error is so if someone can please help to debug this error that would be very helpful. Thank you in advacne.

    This is the Error message.

    Hello, Is it possible to somehow scroll the viewport to the bottom on test failure?
  • t
    Maybe you can put a command that does that in the succeeding test suite. cy.scrollIntoView or cy.scrollTo
  • r
    Thank you I will try that.

    If you need to create data during Cypress tests or even to log in: cypress-data-session is the answer https://glebbahmutov.com/blog/cypresss-data-session/

    i'm currently looking for a simple/clean approach to deliver html reports thru email of my cypress test runs. Suggestions/ideas will be much appreciated. Did not find anything on cypress documentation which caught my attention.
