cy2
integrates cypress with alternative orchestration services like Sorry Cypress or Currents.
March 2023 Update
⭐️ Cypress 12.6.0+ users, please use https://github.com/currents-dev/cypress-cloud if you are seeing Cypress does not support recording test results to this third party service
error ⭐️
npm install cy2
Set the environment variable CYPRESS_API_URL
and run cy2
. The command passes down all the CLI flags to cypress runner as-is.
# use `http://localhost:1234` as orchestration cloud service
CYPRESS_API_URL="http://localhost:1234/" cy2 run --parallel --record --key somekey --ci-build-id hello-cypress
Example usage with sorry-cypress. The URL should point to director
service.
CYPRESS_API_URL="https://sorry-cypress-demo-director.herokuapp.com" cy2 run --parallel --record --key somekey --ci-build-id hello-cypress
Run Cypress via its Module API
run(apiUrl: string, config: CypressCommandLine.CypressRunOptions): Promise<CypressCommandLine.CypressRunResult | CypressCommandLine.CypressFailedRunResult>
Example:
import { run } from 'cy2';
const results = await run('https://sorry-cypress.company.net', {
reporter: 'junit',
browser: 'chrome',
config: {
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:8080',
video: true,
},
});
Spawn Cypress as a child process and inherit all the flags and environment variables. It invokes process.exit
with the child process' exit code.
spawn(apiUrl: string): Promise<void>
Example:
import { spawn } from 'cy2';
await spawn(process.env.CYPRESS_API_URL);
patch
method was deprecated. Userun
instead.
- Starting version 3+, the API methods
run
andpatch
rely onprocess.env.CYPRESS_API_URL
instead of accepting an argument. That's because of a new patching method that doesn't permanently change cypress configuration after invokingcy2
.
Deprecated due to the changes in cypress introduced in version 12+.
Change cypress configuration without running it.
patch(cypressPackageEntryPath: string) => Promise<void>
process.env.CYPRESS_API_URL
before invoking patch
Example:
import { patch } from 'cy2';
import cypress from 'cypress';
process.env.CYPRESS_API_URL = 'https://dashboard.service.url';
async function main() {
// optional - provide cypress package main entry point location
await patch(require.resolve('cypress'));
cypress
.run({
// the path is relative to the current working directory
spec: './cypress/e2e/examples/actions.cy.js',
})
.then((results) => {
console.log(results);
})
.catch((err) => {
console.error(err);
});
}
main().catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
process.exit(1);
});
