Cypress End-to-End Testing

[Fireship]

Seriously, give Cypress a try (they don't pay me) - it will make you love test-driven development :)

The amount of times I've restarted and pressed a button like a robot just to test something is embarrassing. I'm going to start with E2E now. Let the computer be the robot.

I just started working with cypress with vue. And I absolutely love it. I just wonder why someone would choose selenium over this. Clearly, this is a winner.

I have been toying with test driven development now for the last 3-4 years with various tools and i have never felt comfortable with it. For the first time after trying cypress i actually feel like i will only code using test driven development. Seriously this tool rocks, is very easy and will save me so much time. thanks again for a cool video and opening my eyes

Man, you are so cool. I'm sitting here thinking "I wish this guy was a senior at the company I (will) work in. I'd be such a good dev in a short period of time". Thanks for the video though! Cypress looks really cool and really easy.

Extremely clear and direct! Subscribed.

Video request: Cypress End-to-End Testing with Firebase Emulator.
I can't get it to work for the life of me. For me, the challenging thing is having the front-end, firebase functions, and any database seeding functions (firebase admin sdk in beforeHook, or pretest script) manipulate the same firestore.
Love your videos!

Another top notch video Jeff. Great work, and an excellent find. In fact, this week I was about to look into e2e testing for the project I recently inherited which has no tests at all.

I would really appreciate the more advanced video you mentioned. I'm particularly interested in seeing how to manage firestore.

I came from a ruby on rails world where the app would run in 'test' mode. And was connected to a seperate database instance dedicated to tests.

Then the before blocks would reset the database to a known state before each test ran. In some cases deleting all data, and seeding a specific data set.

That would be awesome 😁

I mean this in a good way... this video packs more information in less than 10 minutes than some do in an hour. Wow... Oh, and Cypress is powerful!

1:26 What do you mean? What does redux have to do with writing tests. State management libraries simplify a set of problems which would be really hard to solve otherwise and even if you did you most likely end up reinventing a state manager. Things like having the result of an API call available to components in different places of component tree.

you saved my alot of time, i am very thankful to you

[yahyeabdirashid]

this is awesome so you can only focus on writing code

[NeverCodeAlone]

Thx for this nice overview. We do a lot with Codeception tests and now look for more testing frameworks ;)

[cityjoy]

thank you for the good tutorial. i had to slow down a bit bc things are going too fast for me.

"Writing a really good test suite is much more effective at preventing bugs than using a state management library like Redux"


What?

I've recently started getting into testing in general.
And I was wondering, you mentioned using the Id Attribute could make the test volatile, however I am failing to see how the name attribute changest this.
The probability of the name attribute to be changed could be just as high as the Id, right?

[eddiejaoude]

Wow looks really interesting!! Is it possible for the tests to run fully locally or is an internet connection always needed as it saves the data in the cloud? I saw that Firestore has an emulate but it wasnt clear how to connect to it

great video! thank you for the help :)

Can cypress test Services, Pipes, Guards, Components?
