Introduction
This README provides a comprehensive guide to setting up and running end-to-end (E2E) tests using Cypress. Cypress is a JavaScript-based end-to-end testing framework that is easy to set up, powerful, and user-friendly. This document will walk you through the process of setting up Cypress, writing tests, and running them.
Prerequisites Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your machine:
Node.js (version 12 or higher) npm (Node Package Manager) or Yarn
Setup
- Yarn install or npm run install
- npx cypress open
Folder Structure
After opening Cypress for the first time, you'll notice a new folder cypress created with the following structure:
cypress/fixtures: Test data that can be used in your tests.
cypress/integration: Where your test files (specs) will go.
cypress/plugins: Plugins for extending Cypress functionality.
cypress/support: Commands and configurations that are globally available to your tests.
