Cypress Testing

[Cypress Documentation] (https://www.cypress.io/)

Installing cypress:

npm install cypress

To run tests:

Open the terminal:

1. Start the local dev server using: npm run dev --es5

2. In a separate terminal window run: npm run cypress - this will open the test runner which will allow you to either run all of the tests, or select individual test files.

To write or edit tests:

All Cypress E2E testing files live within the cypress/integration folder.

To run individual test suites or blocks:

Add .only before the describe suites or it blocks in the cypress/integration/.spec files, such as:

describe.only('Contact Form'), or

it.only('Should...)

To capture images of how the application appears after a given action:

Add cy.screenshot('nameOfYourChoosing') inside of any 'it' block. The image will then appear as a file within the cypress/screenshots directory after you run the tests.
