    Hi all, I'm using cypress-cucumber-preprocessor, so I have feature files with the BDD, and step files with it() blocks, using Given(), When() etc. I have multiple feature files and corresponding step files. I introduced a before() into one of the step files, I want this to run once each time that feature file is run. I found that it works as expected except that the before() also runs when executing another feature file, which does not use the steps in the other step file. What could I be doing wrong?

    @crooked-megabyte-18846 1st of all, use 
    @badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor
    , ref. https://github.com/badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor/issues/689 Secondly, a feature file is paired up with files containing definitions, through configuration. It doesn't really matter if you use the steps or not, only that you can
  • f
    Any hooks are going to take affect even if you don't use any of the step definitions, as long as that file is paired up with a feature file

    Anyone have trouble component testing in CI? Our e2e tests work smoothly but we have a dead-simple component test that's got a 50% failure rate in CI even though all it does is mount the component and assert that it is visible when a prop is true. This is the whole test file
    Copy code
    import ProgressPanel from '@/components/base/ProgressPanel.vue';
describe('ProgressPanel', () => {
  it('should render when set to true', () => {
    const modelValue = true;

    cy.mount(ProgressPanel, {
      props: {
        modelValue,
      },
    })

      .get('[data-cy="progress-panel"]')
      .should('be.visible');
  });
});
    It passes locally on two different machines, but is flaky in ci

    Thanks, I will update this now. What pairs the feature file and the step file? is it simply the reference to any step name of any step file? Do you mean that any before() hook will run, no matter if the step file is ran by the feature file or not? In my case I have: Feature file A -> Step file A (containing the before() ) Feature file B -> Step file B (but this also runs the before() from Step file A)
  • f
    Here's an example of a configuration:
    Copy code
    {
  "stepDefinitions": [
    "cypress/integration/[filepath]/**/*.{js,ts}",
    "cypress/support/step_definitions/**/*.{js,ts}"
  ]
}
  • f
    I expect you'll be able to infer everything from that
  • c
    ok, so a before() in any step definition file will run no matter what feature file/scenario is run. I have a cleanup activity to do before running a set of feature scenarios, how best to run those on that single feature or indeed scenario? Without having to run them on every feature as I seem to be doing now.
  • f
    > ok, so a before() in any step definition file will run no matter what feature file/scenario is run. No

    I don't know what else to say, I thought search patterns was entirely self explanatory
  • c
    pushed past that now, it won't recognise my stepfiles. here is the message https://gyazo.com/22ae5446bb0a0a09c730962e3fac9e5b here is my setup and photo of the tree! https://gyazo.com/feb4116e79a3516336f395245403034d thank you for your time

    Has anyone done component testing in a Gatsby app? I'm having trouble getting the component running and I can't figure out what to do.

    I am observing that after upgrading to Cypress v 10.3.0, my tests are not getting executed in alphabetical order. Those are picked up in random order for executing regression pack.
  • m
    Anyone has solution to make it execute in alphabetical order?

    No, that does not help because the initial configuration does not work. cypress:open open cypress and the configuration at the beginning do not work, so i cant write any tests by the ui. This guide says open cypress with cypress:open and ready. The cypress folder is not created

    #763105090679865354 Hello everyone, I have an issue with my visual regression tests, the tests always pass even with differences.
  • f
    This is part of my setup.

    I did tests to see if the tests failed on the CI but they did not fail.

    anyone can help with this?

    It is; i saw the issue with all the browsers I had on my machine. However, we discovered the root cause this morning, which turned out to be the Sophos software that my company installs on our computers. Thanks for the response, @mysterious-motherboard-13344

    Hi. I'm running cypress in WSL2 on windows, headless with electron. As it starts up, it prints some errors to the console but the tests proceed anyway. I'd like to know how I might get rid of the clutter. The errors are as follows: [12862:0723/083919.131448:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(377)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process. [12862:0723/083919.134839:ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported.
