e2e Interview Test

Setup

1. Install Cypress

Follow these instructions to install Cypress.

2. Fork and Run Locally

Fork this project.

After forking this project in Github, run these commands:

## clone this repo locally
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/e2e-interview-test.git

## cd into the cloned repo
cd e2e-interview-test

## install dependencies
npm install

## start the local webserver
npm start

The npm start script will spawn a webserver on port 8888 which hosts the TodoMVC app.

You can verify this by opening your browser and navigating to: http://localhost:8888

You should see the TodoMVC app up and running and you can play around with it to get a sense of what it does. Now we're ready to add to our test suite.

Testing the Todo app:

We already have some tests written for this application. We need you to add the following tests to cypress/integration/app_spec.js

Look in that file for // TODO: comments and add tests in those places.

Running Tests

Run the tests in headless mode

You can run the tests in headless mode to quickly check they are passing:

npm run test

Open cypress in dev mode

It can be useful to open cypress in dev mode in order to see what your tests are doing.

(Note: be sure to quit out of the npm start above if you still have it running)

npm run dev

See also package.json for other ways to run the tests.

Other Stuff

Custom commands

This project also adds several custom commands in cypress/support/commands.js. They are useful to create one or more default todos from the tests.

it('should append new items to the bottom of the list', function () {
  cy.createDefaultTodos().as('todos')
  // more test commands
})
