hello once again... i have a question.. I have a table with multiple links... and i want to choose a random one every time... i'm using this code(see below), but sometimes it fails on the "click()" and i don't understand why... it's not happening always... is there any work around to click random links?

ChooseRandomShop() {
        cy.get('table [href]').then( myLinks => {
            const randomLink = Cypress._.sample(myLinks)
            cy.wrap(randomLink).click()
        })

Hi again, I am wondering if there is a way to setup global state before running each test. In my case this state is readonly, so it would suffice to set it up once and reuse it later. The global state consists of loading a file (a keepass database to be exact) to retrieve usernames and passwords from. Currently I am running the following in the

beforeEach

phase:

typescript
cy.fixture(pathToDB, null).then((rawData) => {
    // Some cursed-voodo magic to get the data as an ArrayBuf
    const buf = Cypress.Buffer.from(rawData);
    const database = new Uint8Array(buf).buffer;
    cy.fixture(pathToPassword).then((password: string) => {
        Keepass.loadDatabase(database, password);
    });
});

While this works, I feel like I am missing something to initialize it globally once. I tried the

support/e2e.ts

but that did not work. Is there a better way to do this?

Hello, I am needing of some help 🙂 I have tried out cypress and love it. Is there a way of changing the file locations cypress is pointing to as I am now looking to put it into a repo and can't see a way to repoint the locations or uninstall cypress

I am using a mac at the moment, it is just the case of deleting all the files in the folder it is pointing to ?

what does it say when it fails?

can you initialize it once? and the tests don't update anything in it?

After the upgrade i was able to switch different origin but i have an issue with payment since cypress by default cleared all the session data the values are not added in the API request

Id like to avoid having to restate it for every test file, or is there a way to share beforeEach behavior across files? When I try to use the class in another spec, it is not initialized, and therefore does not work.

Hello. Anyone kindly help in loading issue.

Hi, you've bumped this a couple of times now. Please don't keep doing this; it just adds noise. Your question in its current form is too broad and vague. Take a look at #763097415896268840 for some tips to make it easier for one of us volunteers to answer

everytime is different.. it finds the href in the previous step, but when it comes to "click()" boom

Hello Everyone! I recently started using Cypress for one of my projects. We had some changes in the frontend which involved the introduction of webcomponents via lit elements. It also heavily relies on slots. I need to update some tests involving checking if some components are rendered on the right place. Like this:

<my-custom-element>
    #shadow-root
        <ul>
            <li data-testid="id-a">
                <slot name="slot-a" />
            </li>
            <li data-testid="id-b">
                <slot name="slot-b" />
            </li>
        </ul>
    <a slot="slot-b" class="looking-for-this" />
</my-custom-element>

cy.get('my-custom-element').shadow().find('[data-testid="id-b"]').???

My goal would be checking if element "a" with class "looking-for-this" is properly rendered under data-testid="id-b". Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to query the assigned nodes to data-testid="id-b". Cypress seems only able to find the empty slot. Do you think is there any workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Guys, Cypress's SSO certificate has expired and I don't have a non-SSO account to update the certificate. I was guided to create a new organization and then add it to my original one, but how would I do that? Regards,

We upgraded Cypress to 11.2.0 version and during the build Jenkins tells us the 8.7.0 version is used. Is it necessary to change that version somewhere else so that it does not constantly use the old version?

i think your table re-renders and the old href element is no longer valid

Hey team. Wonder if anyone can help. We currently use Cypress for a suite of API tests, and at the moment, I'm logging out the requests and responses as they happen in the tests, so that I've got something to read through in a bit more detail when I'm digging into test failures. However, the suite has grown so large that I think the constant logging is causing some performance degradation in the container. What I would ideally like to do is to store these logs in a string array, and then only actually log them out on test failure. Ideally I'd like to do this using

Cypress.on

to tap into events on

run:start

and

fail

to handle printing and clearing the array, but it seems like

console.log

doesn't do anything within

Cypress.on

, and

Cypress.log()

only prints out to the browser console instead of the container stdout. Does anyone have any suggestions for ways I could figure out how to print to stdout in

Cypress.on

or just other ideas of how I could handle this type of logging without having to add

beforeEach

and

afterEach

hooks to every test just to handle this?

Guys, How to run cypress UI (Browser) without need opened electron GUI? The QA needs open cypress UI (Browser) running inside WSL2, but the configuration to open electron GUI it's so complicated...

There isn't a way to set this in the UI, but you can run a command like so

npx cypress open --e2e --browser electron

Don't the latest version of wsl2 that you can get from the Microsoft Store have build in wslG. So you can open gui apps without issues

Uh oh, It looks like you have posted the same question in multiple channels. Help us prevent spam by removing any duplicates of your questions, Thanks! 😀

hello Guys ! It´s possible to ignore the before (hook) just in one specific test in the same archive ?

you could probably look at the current test's name (inside the before hook) and use

return

to skip, but I would think this would make the code harder to understand

In this case im using a cy.login() in a beforeEach(). Maybe it´s better to remove then and use a cy.login inside the it´s ?

Hi guys, how can I get a pseudo element? This is span its actually a checkbox and the ::after its check symbol (using the version 9.7.0)

So you want to call

cy.login()

in every test but one? Am I understanding that? If so can you just organize your tests using

describe

hooks so that only the tests that need login inherit that setup while other tests share a different setup?

that's exactly it, thanks for the tip
