    hi, how can I import 
    firebase
    in my tests on the browser side? I have this error 
    SyntaxError: 'import' and 'export' may appear only with 'sourceType: module'
    I tried to fix this by using webpack/ts-loader/etc. but it seems to create conflict with 
    nuxt
    what is using these packages, and thus I can't launch my project. here's the code I'm trying to run:
    Copy code
    ts
// cypress/support/command.ts

import { initializeApp } from 'firebase/app' // this import causes the error


const app = initializeApp({
  // config
})

    my issue evolved:
    Copy code
    Error: Webpack Compilation Error
/Users/anon/project/cypress/tsconfig.json
[tsl] ERROR
      TS18003: No inputs were found in config file 'tsconfig.json'. Specified 'include' paths were '["**/*.ts"]' and 'exclude' paths were '["../node_modules","../.nuxt","../dist","../cypress/**/*","../**/*.stories.js","../**/*.stories.ts"]'.
    in the file preprocessor hook, I use either cucumber or webpack now
  • g
    ok finally done, here's the cypress plugin, hope it can help someone:
    Copy code
    ts
const webpackOptions = {
        webpackOptions: {
          mode: 'development',
          resolve: {
            extensions: ['.ts', '.js'],
          },
          module: {
            rules: [
              {
                test: /\.ts$/,
                exclude: [/node_modules/],
                use: [
                  {
                    loader: 'ts-loader',
                    options: {
                      // skip typechecking for speed
                      transpileOnly: true,
                    },
                  },
                ],
              },
            ],
          },
        },
      }

const options = {
    ...browserify.defaultOptions,
    typescript: require.resolve('typescript'),
  }

  on('file:preprocessor', (file: any) => {
    return file.filePath.includes('.feature')
      ? cucumber(options)(file)
      : webpack(webpackOptions)(file)
  })
    NOTE: a better way is to use webpack to also preprocessed 
    .feature
    file with cucumber https://github.com/badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor/blob/v9.1.0/examples/webpack/cypress/plugins/index.ts

    https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/troubleshooting#Patch-Cypress describes how you can patch 
    cypress
    module itself. But this doesn't let me change the Test Runner code, because that isn't in 
    node_modules/cypress
    . Is there a way to similarly make patches to Test Runner and commit them to git?

    Hi! Does anyone here runs Cypress with WSL2? I have been trying to run some tests for a couple days now without any success, I can´t even get it to open, it just timesout. I have followed a couple tutorials, including the ones from Cypress. I have the display and the libs in place, but it just keeps on timing out, and I have runned out of gitHub issues to follow
  • c
    I am. I wasn't able to run it with the recommended X servers (and it similarly timed out), but https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ worked. In addition, afterwards 
    --browser chrome
    was required, the default 
    electron
    didn't work, but it had very different symptoms https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/19258
  • g
    Hello! I wonder whats the difference when using each together with $ or not? Basically why doesnt it work without $ but works with $ when doing for each?
  • g
    WORKS
    Copy code
    ts
arrayTest = [];
cy.get('#test').should('be.visible').each(($el) => {
  arrayTest.push($el.text().replace(/\./g, ''));
});
    DOESNT WORK
    Copy code
    ts
arrayTest = [];
cy.get('#test').should('be.visible').each((el) => {
  arrayTest.push(el.text().replace(/\./g, ''));
});
  • g
    why do you think it works in the first case and does not work in the second case? it is just a variable name
  • b
    how do you force a response with a status 500 in a cy.intercept like this ? cy.intercept('**/dashboard/details/*', { response: {}, status: 500 });
  • m
    I've never seen that. $ is just a convention for redability
  • m
    here's a working example https://github.com/muratkeremozcan/fastify-example-tests/blob/main/cypress/integration/spec28.js considering getting Gleb's course, it will help you master all that https://cypress.tips/courses
  • m
    I recall wrestling this a year ago, and running into limitations with WSL2 Whatever is failing, try it vs a control group, where you either have a linux box, or you're running a linux vm. If what you're trying fails on both WSL and Linux box/vm, it's user error that you can address.
  • s
    I will look into it, thank you for the suggestion
  • s
    It is failling only on the wsl, but it is running ok on windows thru git bash, but then it gets connection refused from mi API running on the localHost which is why I went into WSL. I have tried all the users error I could think of, from node version to downgrading to checking display and all, but it still just times out
  • g
    beautiful test

    Hi, Is there any way to generate xml test report using cypress that can be publish in azure devops, currently azure devops does not support html reports. so that test result (snapshot) can be attached to failing tests.

    Hey Cypress friends. I'm having an issue with connecting to Cypress Dashboard locally. I've got both the record key and project ID set in env vars, and I can see tests running with these values in our CI/CD absolutely fine. But when I do it locally, I get the following error
    Copy code
    We encountered an unexpected error talking to our servers.

We will retry 3 more times in 30 seconds...

The server's response was:

RequestError: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:1234
    Does anyone have any ideas if there's any sort of system settings that can impact with my machine connecting up to Dashboard? Currently using an M1 Mac. I'm wracking my brain, but I've not seen any system config mentioned in any of the Cypress docs.

    Hey Cypress friends I m having an issue
  • l
    I have a very simple page. I'm just trying to insure that when I click the links the user is navigated to the right page, and then go back. I read https://filiphric.com/testing-links-with-cypress to no avail. I must be missing something. Here's a SS of what I'm working with and the code.
    Copy code
    it('checks all links', () => {
  cy.visit('http://localhost:3000/logout')

  cy.contains('login').click()
  cy.location('pathname').should('eq', '/login')
  cy.go('back')
})

    Hi, I use the following commands in my test cy.get('textarea').click({force:true}).type('{upArrow}') and then cy.get('button2').click()- Reset the above text area to empty. Anyone knows why its happening-? Browser Electron
  • e
    Hi, besides 
    .click({force: true})
    not being required to type in a field, the purpose of the button is missing in your explanation. That's not the default behavior and I'm not able to reproduce it based on the context provided.
  • a
    I couldn't run without {force:true} as the element is being covered by another error message pop up without it
  • e
    If you can't, it's about the same for a user: By forcing it, you are testing something which will never be going to happen for them.
  • a
    This text box has an up-down arrow which is the only possible way to enter the field. Key in is being restricted. And that's why I used click and then type{}.
  • c
    I have Cypress installed on my PC with some external plug-ins (cypress-grep, cypress-keycloak etc.). How can I install Cypress on another machine and have my dependencies installed there? (expect manually re-installing). I should be copying my package.json I guess, but what then?
  • g
    npm install
  • a
    I do get a ECONNRESET error when trying to run Cypress and it is completely blocking me. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I have simply cloned [cypress-example-kitchensink](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-example-kitchensink) and ran 
    npm run cy:open
    which is the script that runs this exact command 
    cypress open
    The console opens, I click on the first test and then it crashes with the console closing and with and error in the terminal, reproduced bellow:
  • a
    Copy code
    $ npm run cy:open

> cypress-example-kitchensink@0.0.0-development cy:open C:\Users\jboghean\Desktop\cypress-example-kitchensink
> cypress open
