    Cypress Tips And Tricks

    Anshita Bhasin
    Cypress

    Cypress is a JavaScript-based end-to-end testing framework that enables automation


    developers to write and execute tests for web applications.Despite its many benefits,
    Cypress can be challenging to use effectively, especially for beginners. However, you
    can maximize productivity and streamline your testing process with a few Cypress
    tips and tricks.

    Whether you're new to Cypress or an experienced user, these Cypress tips and tricks
    will help you take your automation testing to the next level. So, let's dive in and
    explore how you can make Cypress work for you.

    Here are some Cypress tips and tricks for getting the most out of the framework.
    When writing this tutorial, the latest version of Cypress is 12.5.1.
    (1) Modify Real-time reloads
    By default, Cypress provides the convenient feature of automatically reloading the page and re-executing
    the test commands whenever any changes are made to the tests. But you can change this behavior in
    Cypress by setting the watchForFileChanges option to false in the configuration file.

    "watchForFileChanges":false
    (2) Use {delay: 0} to quickly enter the text in Cypress
    The delay option object can add a delay after each keypress.Setting the delay option to 0 i.e, {delay:0} may
    cause the text to be entered faster than a user could realistically type it.
    (3) Check browser version on runtime
    Knowing the browser version that your tests are running on, can be useful for several reasons, including:
    Debugging, Compatibility testing,Customization. You can get the browser information using the below
    command:

    For
    For example,
    example, to to print
    print thethe browser
    browser version,
    version, you
    you can
    can use:
    use the following code:
    cy.log(Cypress.browser.version)
    (4) Pause the test execution
    To pause the execution of a test to inspect the DOM /network to perform some actions manually can be done
    by using the below command:
    (5) Add {log:false}
    The {log: false} option can be used to disable logging for a specific command in Cypress Command Log. By
    default, Cypress logs the command and its arguments to the console when it is run. However, the command
    will be executed without being logged if you pass the {log: false} option.
    (6) Modify specPattern as per the requirement
    In Cypress, the specPattern can be customized in the configuration file to suit your specific requirements.

    For example, if you want to change specPattern to test.js, you can make the changes in config files as shown
    below:
    (7) Handle Invisible/Hidden elements
    To interact with hidden or disabled elements in Cypress, you must pass option {force:true} to the Cypress
    command.

    Example:
    (8) Open the Link in the same tab
    Cypress, as it runs inside the browser, does not support multiple tabs. However, there are ways to work
    around this and open a link in the same tab. One of the solution is described as below:

    Sample code:
