03/16/2023, 6:08 AM🧵 I'm registering users that needs to click on a link, sent by email, to access a system I test. I'm using MailSlurp (I'm following this tutorial: https://www.mailslurp.com/examples/cypress-js/) .
Doing some modifications to the actual code, I have this:
example.cy.js Copy code
javascript
describe('Sign up', () => {
const password = "test-password";
let inboxId;
let emailAddress;
let link;
it('sample', () => {
cy.visit('http://localhost:3000/');
cy.get('h2').contains('Iniciar');
cy.wait(5000);
cy.get('a').contains('Don\'t').click(); cy.get('label[for="password"]').contains('Create a Password');
cy.createInbox().then(inbox => {
// verify a new inbox was created
assert.isDefined(inbox)
// save the inboxId for later checking the emails
inboxId = inbox.id
emailAddress = inbox.emailAddress;
// sign up with inbox email address and the password
cy.get('input[name="email"]').type(emailAddress);
cy.get('input[name="password"]').type(password);
cy.get('button[type="submit"]').contains('Sign up').click();
cy.waitForLatestEmail(inboxId).then(email => {
// verify we received an email
assert.isDefined(email);
console.log("print the body")
console.log(email.body)
// extract the link
link = /<a\s+(?:[^>]*?\s+)?href=(["'])(.*?)\1/.exec(email.body)[2];
console.log(link)
});
});
});
it('should works', () => {
console.log('Print the URL: ' + link)
cy.visit(link);
});
it('should works', () => {
// it displays the link sent through email, but when I visit it throws an error
// see image attached
console.log('Print the URL: ' + link)
cy.visit(link);

javascript
//<gen>cypress_client_add_command
const { MailSlurp } = require('mailslurp-client');
// set your api key with an environment variable `CYPRESS_API_KEY` or configure using `env` property in config file
// (cypress prefixes environment variables with CYPRESS)
const apiKey = Cypress.env('API_KEY')
const mailslurp = new MailSlurp({ apiKey });
Cypress.Commands.add("createInbox", () => {
return mailslurp.createInbox();
});
Cypress.Commands.add("waitForLatestEmail", (inboxId) => {
// how long we should hold connection waiting for an email to arrive
const timeoutMillis = 30_000;
return mailslurp.waitForLatestEmail(inboxId, timeoutMillis)
});

03/16/2023, 6:09 AMMy first approach was to just save the link in a variable and then visit it, but when I do that I get this URL in the browser:
http://localhost:3000/#error=invalid_request&error_code=400&error_description=Verify+requires+a+verification+type
