Hello, where would be the appropriate space to ask for help regarding the Cypress app in Jira? Thanks in advance! Context: It installs fine, but when I click get started I believe there's supposed to be some communication with Cypress and it just errors out. I can provide screenshots and greater context when I figure out where the appropriate place to post is.

Are you talking about cypress dashboard app integration with JIRA ? If yes, then it will be #982015401074511912

Thank you!

Does anyone here have experience with running Cypress Parallelization for an app with AWS Amplify? Thanks!

Hello, I just setup Github actions to auto run test when my app is pushed to my main branch. Everything works fine but however my app requires a login and all my login is set using my

Cypress.env

which is not pushed to Github. Any Suggestions on how I can get this to work without pushing my .env info?

you can provide it via environment variables for the actions

these would "exist" as environment variables when cypress runs in the action, and GitHub will hide it in the logs

I think it's labeled a secrets in the repo settings?

Setup GH Secrets as matching env vars that you need in your code https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/encrypted-secretse

Setup GH Actions Secrets (admin access to the repo required) as matching env vars that you need in your code https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/encrypted-secretse and https://docs.cypress.io/guides/continuous-integration/github-actions#Worker-Jobs (shows the

env

attribute with env vars) are useful docs.

Thank you!

anybody familiar with the differences between the following two commands?

cy.get("span:contains('OK'):visible").click();
cy.contains("span:visible", "OK").click();

i understand that

cy.get

will return all matching elements and

cy.contains

will only return the first, but it must go deeper than that. I found myself in a situation where there are two popup elements, each containing an "OK" button. one popup has

display:none

and the other is visible. the cy.get() command works as you would expect, it clicks on the visible OK button. the second one fails, and returns an error that says "the selected element in not visible". if I add

{force: true}

to the second case, we confirmed its clicking the OK button in the popup that has

display:none

. im failing to understand why

cy.contains

is selecting the wrong button and

cy.get

is selecting the right one

if necessary I can see about setting up a reproduction repo but it will take a non trivial amount of time to set that up so im hoping that somebody is familiar enough with the difference in implementation between these commands that they might have an idea of whats going wrong here.

I've never seen a

cy.get

styled like that.

I would do:

cy.get('span:visible').contains('OK').click();

or something.

my understanding is that cy.get parses any jquery style selector, which is where the

":contains('text')"

format is defined

my concern is more with why

cy.contains("span:visible", "OK")

is failing

I don't really know jquery very well and try to stick to the simplest implementation of my selectors that I can, and then I rely on chaining to drill down.

imo

cy.contains("span:visible", "OK")

is the simplest & clearest way to select but its broken, (or at least not doing the thing i would expect)

to be clear

cy.get("span:contains('OK'):visible").click();

works, and I could leave it at that, but im trying to understand what the difference is here

why does one work and the other doesnt. hoping a cypress dev can chime in with some insight into the implementation details

not sure who to tag for that

I don't think

contains

works the way you think it does. It's not intended to be passed a selector, it's designed to look for inner text, a number, or a RegEx. https://docs.cypress.io/api/commands/contains#Syntax

Oh, I'm wrong - it looks like you can pass a selector.

nvm.

Maybe

.get

works with pseudo-selectors, but

.contains

doesn't? That's the only thing I can think of.

Does

cy.contains("span", "OK")

work? It might be an issue only when you append the

:visible

?

both

cy.contains("span", "OK")

and

cy.contains("OK")

fail in the same way as mentioned above. they select the first ok button that they find, which happens to be the wrong one, which has

display:none

Ah, well, that makes sense since

contains

returns the first element found. My guess is that it doesn't accept the jquery pseudo-selector but I'm not sure why. Might be worth opening an issue on Github over it, if you want a dev response.
