End2End Tests with Cypress.io

Getting Started

1. Install >= NodeJS v14 (Recommendation: Install NodeJS v16)

2. Install PNPM as package manager, because it is faster and more stable

    npm install -g pnpm
   

3. optionally: Install shell tooling (on Windows OS) to become able to execute also shell scripts (for executing tests Unix-based)

4. You have to install the Node package scripty globally

    # with PNPM
    pnpm install -g scripty
   

5. You have to set write permissions to the scripts and scripts-win folders under project root

    sudo chmod -Rf 777 ./scripts/
    sudo chmod -Rf 777 ./scripts-win/
   

6. Sometimes you have some trouble on Unix based OS starting the tests because the scripty scripts under /scripts and scripts-win have the wrong endcoding for line endings. In that case you have to convert from DOS to UNIX. Therefore you can use the tool dos2unix. First download the tool and install, after you can convert the specific files:

   # convert all scripty scripts in given folder
   dos2unix ./scripts/*
   dos2unix ./scripts-win/*
   

7. pnpm install

8. pnpm clean

9. Run your tests as described in the following chapters

   #### CYPRESS RUN ####
   # execute all cucumber tests
   pnpm run cy:run --reporter mocha-allure-reporter
   
   # execute only specific cucumber tests
   pnpm run cy:run --spec cypress/integration/features/webpage.feature --reporter mocha-allure-reporter
   
   # execute with @smoke tagged cucumber tests
   pnpm run cy:run --env tags=@smoke --reporter mocha-allure-reporter
   

10. Generate Cucumber reports

    # generate all cucumber reports
    pnpm run cucumber:report
