The problem

You want to use DOM Testing Library methods in your Cypress tests.

This solution

This allows you to use all the useful DOM Testing Library methods in your tests.

Table of Contents

Installation

This module is distributed via npm which is bundled with node and should be installed as one of your project's devDependencies:

npm install --save-dev @testing-library/cypress

With TypeScript

Typings are defined in @types/testing-library__cypress at DefinitelyTyped, and should be added as follows in tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": ["cypress", "@types/testing-library__cypress"]
  }
}

Usage

Cypress Testing Library extends Cypress' cy command.

Add this line to your project's cypress/support/commands.js:

import '@testing-library/cypress/add-commands'

You can now use all of DOM Testing Library's findBy, findAllBy, queryBy and queryAllBy commands. See the DOM Testing Library docs for reference

You can find all Library definitions here.

To show some simple examples (from cypress/integration/query.spec.js or cypress/integration/find.spec.js):

cy.queryByText('Button Text').should('exist')
cy.queryByText('Non-existing Button Text').should('not.exist')
cy.queryByLabelText('Label text', {timeout: 7000}).should('exist')
cy.findAllByText('Jackie Chan').click({multiple: true})
cy.get('form').within(() => {
  cy.findByText('Button Text').should('exist')
})
cy.get('form').then(subject => {
  cy.findByText('Button Text', {container: subject}).should('exist')
})

Cypress Testing Library supports both jQuery elements and DOM nodes. This is necessary because Cypress uses jQuery elements, while DOM Testing Library expects DOM nodes. When you pass a jQuery element as container, it will get the first DOM node from the collection and use that as the container parameter for the DOM Testing Library functions.
