Cypress

Introduction

This is notes of my usage of cypress

Configuration

When I installed Cypress it was v12 of the product. This has changed slightly from most of the tutorials as the name of the tests no longer have spec and but cy and reside in e2e rather than the integration folder. The other change was that Cypress has all tests isolated by default. I.E. it resets the browser in between tests

import { defineConfig } from 'cypress'

export default defineConfig({
   testIsolation: false,
})
~

Cypress REST API

Perhaps an unusual usage but I use the to validate my OpenAPI 3.0 swagger files used in Node.

Swagger File

Here is the user swagger file used with swagger and swagger-ui. Cypress will be used to validate the schema is correct.

import { standardResponses } from './standardResponses'
export const userPaths = {
    '/users': {
        get: {
            summary: 'Get all Users',
            operationId: 'listUsers',
            description: 'Get all Users',
            produces: ['application/json'],
            parameters: [],
            responses: {
                '200': {
                    description: 'Array of User',
                    content: {
                        'application/json': {
                            schema: {
                                $ref: '#/components/schemas/Users',
                            },
                        },
                    },
                },
                ...standardResponses,
            },
        },
    },
}

export const userSchemas = {
    User: {
        required: ['USER_SECURITY_ID', 'USER_NAME', 'USER_FULL_NAME', 'USER_EMAIL'],
        properties: {
            USER_SECURITY_ID: {
                type: 'string',
            },
            USER_NAME: {
                type: 'string',
            },
            USER_FULL_NAME: {
                type: 'string',
            },
            USER_EMAIL: {
                type: 'string',
            },
        },
    },
    Users: {
        type: 'array',
        items: {
            $ref: '#/components/schemas/User',
        },
    },
}
