TIL about Cypress Custom Commands

POSTED ON:

TAGS: testing cypress

I really like Cypress as a testing suite. It's really pwowerful and has a lot of features.

Today I learned adding custom commands to Cypress to abstract common patterns:

Cypress.Commands.add('login', () => {
    cy.visit('/login');
    cy.get('input[name=email]').type('foo@bar.com');
    cy.get('input[name=password]').type('password');
    cy.get('form').submit();
});

// Anywhere else
cy.login();

via Cypress or how I learned to stop worrying and love E2E
