Prompt on cypress

[cesarlima-hotmart]

Prompt alert when testing the application with cypress. Is there a way to solve it?

I guess just disabling fallback might be an okay~ish thing for such case, if you don't need to test successful copying. Then either using fork right now from https://github.com/sudodoki/copy-to-clipboard/pull/82/files or waiting for it to be merged, which also needs some readme/typing updates

[cesarlima-hotmart]

In fact, i'm testing if the text is successfully copied to clipboard.

@cesarlima-hotmart then you might be in trouble 😬 see https://github.com/sudodoki/copy-to-clipboard/tree/master/tests and https://github.com/sudodoki/copy-to-clipboard/blob/master/e2e_helpers/assertions/assertBuffer.js for possible references. I used extra elements to do 'reseting' of the buffer by calling ctrl/cmd+c with some text selected and pasted stuff into textarea/etc to verify I was able to copy something from buffer and that stuff I needed was copied.
I wasn't able to reliably write tests for at least most commong platforms (Chrome / Firefox) as it seemed line endings were inconsistent across different browsers, so I ended up with regexes that were more relaxed with whitespacing than exact matches on strings

Yeah, cypress runs on chromium, but i think the problem is the app runs in a webview inside it. The weird thing is, in this cypress webview, it works if I click manually on the button that calls the copy, but it prompts if i click on it by the cypress click command.

[sudodoki]

there're some issues with security which might be in play, as execCommand cannot be executed without user's interaction, not sure whether that's the case here

[cesarlima-hotmart]

The solution i've found is check the parameters of the alert and assume that it is going to be the copied value in the real scenario.

cy.window().then(win => {
  cy.stub(win, 'prompt').returns(win.prompt).as('copyToClipboardPrompt');
});

let link: string;

cy.get('.transmission-info-container .info .column:last-child .link').find('a').then($a => {
  link = $a.text().trim();
});

cy.get('.transmission-info-container .info .column:last-child .link > div').click();
cy.get('@copyToClipboardPrompt').should('be.called');
cy.get('@copyToClipboardPrompt').should(prompt => {
  expect(prompt.args[0][1]).to.equal(link);
});

@cesarlima-hotmart thanks, it works fine in cypress test runner, but when I run it as a node module in Electron( by command npx cypress run --spec "cypress/*/my-spec.js") it showed error as AssertionError: Timed out retrying after 15000ms: expected copyToClipboardPrompt to have been called at least once, but it was never called

@inoutw Did you ever find a solution to to your assertion error? I'm having similar issues

Update: Turns out what happens is that Electron does not support alerts, so the "prompt" action didn't register.
To get around this issue I just had a modal/message pop up that shows me what I copied and did a simple

.contains(`Copied ${copiedData}`).should("exist");
