This specifically talks about the describe block, not the it/specify blocks.

please read it again. Test isolation is for each test.

Coming from the PHP world, I'm getting up to speed on more recent Javascript language constructs and Cypress simultaneously. I have a somewhat expensive operation I'd like to perform only once with the result being stored in a variable. The function is currently in commands.js. It seems my choices are: • a global variable (var) • a module • a plugin • create an object with a static variable • a closure (somehow; can't seem to get it to work even after seeing the closure variables in https://glebbahmutov.com/blog/import-cypress-fixtures) • a dataSession (plugin by Gleb; see https://glebbahmutov.com/blog/faster-user-creation/) Some options seem like overkill or inelegant (overkill to make a module or plugin, inelegant to make an object). What are people mostly using for this situation?

Hey, I'm getting a pretty annoying error with my Cypress installation. v10.11.0. Cypress was working as expected, and the entire project was ESM, including package.json type: "module" being set. Due to some other circumstances, I needed to change some of the config files like webpack to commonjs and remove module type from package.json. Also using Typescript. Now when trying to run Cypress with either CJS or ESM, I'm getting these errors:

Your configFile is invalid: path-to-project\cypress.config.js
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module C:\\account-billing-reports\node_modules\colorette\index.js from C:\\account-billing-reports\node_modules\listr2\dist\utils\colorette.js not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in C:\\account-billing-reports\node_modules\listr2\dist\utils\colorette.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

I've tried reinstalling Cypress, clearing cypress cache then reinstalling, deleting node_modules then reinstalling, etc. can cypress run in a commonjs project?

Hello. I'm having trouble with the migration from Cypress 10 to 12. Currently, trying to run tests causes Cypress to complain that the following line inside the support/e2e.js file has been deprecated:

Cypress.Cookies.defaults({
    preserve: ['.ASPXAUTH', 'Authentication' ,'.JwtAuth', 'IPValidateCookie', 'VX', 'Culture']
})

Removing that line will allow Cypress to continue running tests, but only the first test in each file. (subsequent tests fail since the user no longer automatically gets/stays logged in) Your migration guide suggested replacing the line above with the following:

beforeEach(() => {
    cy.session('unique_identifier', cy.login, {
       validate () {
        cy.getCookies().should('have.length', 2)
       },
       cacheAcrossSpecs: true
  })
})

but that doesn't seem to have the desired effect as now even the first tests no longer log in. The migration guide seems to assume the Cypress.Cookies.defaults is part of a Describe, rather than a line in the e2e.js. Any idea how to get my tests running again?

hello, how can I store data to a variable from a request ? I’m using cy.request and then I use something like var id = response.body.id but it doesn’t work

Did you try https://docs.cypress.io/guides/core-concepts/variables-and-aliases

Hi, Is there a method given by Cypress using which we can achieve parameterization in Cypress? Just like in jest we have

it.each()

.

Hello. Is it possible to check that a number is equals with a tolerance of 0.001 ? In C# we can do it using

equalTo(something).within(0.001)

expect(number).to.be.closeTo(10, 0.001); will return true on everything that is within 0.001 of 10 read more about closeTo from https://www.chaijs.com/api/bdd/

Hi there. I need your help. I need to send notification in slack via request about all test results. The request works fine in hooks and inside a test, but i use in support/e2e.js this code Cypress.on("after:run", (results) => { cy.request({ method: 'POST',.....} and it does not work for me.

do you have any other

after:run

events? https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/24410

No, I don't. Only

test:after:run

and

after:run

wait, where are you doing this? Look how I do it https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-slack-notify

I added code to support/e2e.js file

there is no

Cypress

"after:run" browser event, see https://docs.cypress.io/api/plugins/writing-a-plugin#The-following-events-are-available and https://docs.cypress.io/api/events/catalog-of-events

@gray-kilobyte-89541 I'm working through your "skills required by an automation engineer" (thank you for that resource) and have come across a possible typo. The description below mentions CircleCI but the references are all for Github Actions: running Cypress tests in parallel on CircleCI 1 2 3

yeah, copy/paste error, fixing it

Hey there I''ve made a report for my discord channel with the test results, heeres my example repo https://github.com/bixelbg/cypress-discord-webhook you can get a slack webhook and just adjust the code for slack formatting, I might soon update this repo with the code that sends each failed test and failed attempts too, because i've changed it a lot as of the last few weeks This code is inside the index.js and utilizes the after:run results from pipeline execution

Hello All, i have a question does cypress allow scenario chat on the website? (open 2 browsers simultaneously, normal chrome and incognito) for example user 1 open in chrome, user 2 open in incognito, user 1 send message 1 and then user 2 send message

Hello all, does anyone know to fix this issue? I am having that issue but the image is really visible

As the error says opacity is set to 0 , i believe the parent elements opacity is set to non zero . So suggestion is to check the dom parent element of this image where opacity is not zero

yes, I already checked the DOM. even though the opacity is 0, the image is still displaying. Hence, it should not error using should('be.visible')

does anyone encountered this. They look very same but it shows an error

i am using should('contain.text')

Its part of the visibility check for cypress. You can check another prop on the element.

Could be spacing format in the text that does show up on text string, but will for hex
