Cypress command language
A tiny language wrapping around the Cypress API for rapid external testing of web applications.
Suppose we write
# count.cycl
visit("localhost:3000");
get(#list > li).should("have.length", 2);
get(#counter).should("have.text", "0 clicks");
contains("increment").click;
get(#counter).should("have.text", "1 clicks");
to a file count.cycl somewhere, and then run cycl path/to/count.cycl.
Cycl will compile the test code, embed it in a small shell, and write the output JS to file.
It will end up in the Cypress integration folder in a file cycl/count.js, triggering test runner.
Cycl will watch the file for updates to trigger recompilation.
Several test runner commands have been modelled, including visit, get, should, click etc.
| Cycl | Cypress |
|---|---|
visit(string) |
cy.visit(string) |
get(selector) |
cy.get(selector) |
contains(text) |
cy.contains(text) |
click |
[receiver].click() |
url |
url.click() |
.should(string, value) |
[receiver].should(string, value) |
We "natively" model css ids, classes and 'within' (e.g., .list > li), so these sorts of forms don't need quotation:
you can just say get(#list) or get(.div).should("have.length",2).
