Cypress Angular Schematic

Add Cypress to an Angular CLI project

This schematic will:

• install Cypress, its dependencies, and new scripts
• add necessary files for Cypress to work with Angular & Typescript
• prompt for removal of Protractor files and configuration

Usage 🚀

Run as one command in an Angular CLI app directory. Note this will add the schematic as a dependency to your project.

ng add @briebug/cypress-schematic

With the custom builder installed, you can run cypress with the following commands:

ng e2e

ng run {your-project-name}:cypress-open

These two commands do the same thing. They will launch the (Electron) Cypress Test Runner in watch mode.

ng run {your-project-name}:cypress-run

This command will open the (Electron) Cypress Test Runner and run your tests one time, with output to your terminal.

Options

| Option | Description | | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | addCypressTestScripts | This will add Cypress open and run command scripts to your package.json. Include --addCypressTestScripts in your ng add command. | | noBuilder | This will skip the builder addition, leaving the angular.json file unmodified and requiring you to run Cypress from the command line or through your IDE. Include --noBuilder in your ng add command. |

Development 🛠

Getting started

⚙ Node.js and npm are required for the scripts. Make sure it's installed on your machine.

⬇ Install the dependencies for the schematic and the sandbox application

npm i && cd sandbox && npm i && cd ..

🖇 Link the schematic in the sandbox to run locally

npm run link:sandbox

🏃 Run the schematic

npm run build:clean:launch

E2E testing

Execute the schematic against the sandbox. Then run linting, unit & e2e tests and a prod build in the sandbox.

npm run test

Unit Testing

Run the unit tests using Jasmine as a runner and test framework.

npm run test:unit

Reset the sandbox

Running the schematic locally makes file system changes. The sandbox is version controlled so that viewing a diff of the changes is trivial. After the schematic has run locally, reset the sandbox with the following.

npm run clean
