I'd like to print arbitrary outputs to the terminal per each test after calling cypress run. The outputs should appear regardless of each test's success/failure. I've followed the instructions from dozens of online answers - nothing worked for me.
I'm using Cypress 8.7.0. Thanks!
It's pretty much what #nozik linked to. In your cypress.config.js add:
module.exports = defineConfig({
e2e: {
setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
on('task', {
log(message) {
// Then to see the log messages in the terminal
// cy.task("log", "my message");
console.log(message +'\n\n');
return null;
},
});
},
},
});
which can then be called in your tests with:
cy.task('log', 'Display some logging');

I have a cy.js file like this
/// <reference types="cypress" />
context("Dummy test cases", () => {
it("open Google", () => {
cy.visit("www.google.com");
});
it("search a keyword", () => {
cy.get(".gLFyf").type("cypress{enter}");
});
});
As you can see I've 2 test cases. 1 is to open a website and the other is to do other tasks.
But the problem is that after finishing the first 'it' (test case 1), the browser closes and then the next case fails because there is no active browser.
Can you help me how to stop cypress from closing the browser after the execution of each test case?
I found Cypress is quite opinionated about some things, one at the top of the list is "test isolation" which means one test must not influence another test.
Note each it() is a test.
To make your code work, you must turn off test isolation.
If the cypress.config.js file add the option
const { defineConfig } = require("cypress");
module.exports = defineConfig({
e2e: {
setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
// implement node event listeners here
},
testIsolation: false,
},
})
Same if you are using typescript.
This got added in the new Version Cypress 12.0.0, in their
Changelogs its at the feature section:
Added a new configuration option called testIsolation, which defaults to true.
As #Joylette already said, in your config file just use testIsolation: false to deactivate it. If you ever use an older version use testIsolation: off, they renamed it in the newest version.
I want Cypress to execute custom scripts before and after running the specs suite.
The before:run and after:run APIs look perfect for that.
But the same snippet that works perfectly in before:run doesn’t seem to work in after:run:
module.exports = {
e2e: {
setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
on("before:run", details => {
console.log("Before run:")
exec("npm run cal", {}, handleExecOutput)
})
on("after:run", results => {
console.log("After run:")
exec("npm run cal", {}, handleExecOutput)
})
},
},
};
The cal script is defined in package.json as simply calling the native cal command, as a minimal test.
This is logging "Before run" and the calendar (not exactly together) before running the specs, and only "After run" after running the specs. However, if I change npm run cal to simply cal, the command is executed in both cases.
I’ve tried it with and without promises, with yarn and npm, always the same result. What am I missing?
When running Cypress headlessly, I can see console.log output from the frontend code under test by using the DEBUG environment variable, like:
DEBUG='cypress:launcher' npx cypress run --browser chrome
However, I haven't found any similar way to see the output of cy.log from the Cypress test code when running headlessly. Even with DEBUG='cypress:*' I don't see them - they only seem to be visible in the interactive interface. It feels like there must be some way to see the cy.log output headlessly - can someone help with that?
The first step is to add a new task in your Cypress config file so that you can run console.log from Node:
import { defineConfig } from "cypress";
export default defineConfig({
e2e: {
setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
on("task", {
log(args) {
console.log(...args);
return null;
}
});
},
},
});
Then, you can override cy.log so that it calls this task whenever you run the command in headless mode, and console.log when you're running in headed mode. You can do this by adding the following to your commands file:
Cypress.Commands.overwrite("log", function(log, ...args) {
if (Cypress.browser.isHeadless) {
return cy.task("log", args, { log: false }).then(() => {
return log(...args);
});
} else {
console.log(...args);
return log(...args);
}
});
When I login from normal browser the login is successful with the URL : http://neelesh.zapto.org:8084/EnrolMe/indHome.html
But when I run the script from Cypress the directory location is not appended and the new URL after login is formed as : http://neelesh.zapto.org:8084/__/indHome.html
I have tried setting cypress.json with
{
"chromeWebSecurity": false,
"modifyObstructiveCode" : false
}
I have tried on chrome/electron(head and headless).
Below is my code snippet:
describe('My First Test Suite', function() {
it('My First test case', function() {
cy.visit("http://neelesh.zapto.org:8084/EnrolMe")
cy.get("#login").click()
cy.get("input[value='Individual']").click()
cy.get("#username").type('1234567890')
cy.get("#pwd").type('0646')
Cypress.Cookies.debug(true)
cy.clearCookies()
cy.get("#login").click()
cy.wait(6000)
})
})
When I run the script from Cypress the directory location is not appended and the new URL after login is formed as : http://neelesh.zapto.org:8084/__/indHome.html
It should be redirected as : http://neelesh.zapto.org:8084/EnrolMe/indHome.html
Can anyone help me on this?
This sounds like an issue with "Frame Busting". There's a related discussion for Cypress GitHub Issue #992 which may lend some help.
Your application code may contain problematic frame busting code like the following:
if (window.top !== window.self) {
window.top.location.href = window.self.location.href;
}
You can get around this by changing your application code's reference to window.self from the Application Window to the Cypress Test Runner window (window.top).
Cypress emits a series of events as it runs in your browser. You can use the emitted window:before:load application event to ensure it's done before you attempt to login.
// cypress/support/index.js
Cypress.on('window:before:load', (win) => {
Object.defineProperty(win, 'self', {
get: () => {
return window.top
}
})
})
Has anyone had much experience of generating good detailed reports from Cypress tests using Mochawesome as the report engine?
I've followed the info on the Mochawesome GIT page but what I get is rather dull!!
I'd like to be able to include the odd screen-shot and the output from the assertions - here's the current cypress.json file......
{
"projectId": "haw8v6",
"baseUrl": "https://obmng.dbm.guestline.net/",
"chromeWebSecurity": false,
"reporter" : "mochawesome",
"reporterOptions" : {
"reportFilename" : "DBM Smoke-Test",
"overwrite": true,
"inline": true
}
}
I've been toying with var addContext = require('mochawesome/addContext'); but with little joy.
Suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks
As per request below - very basic example of addContext
var addContext = require('mochawesome/addContext');
describe('DBM Smoketests', function() {
it('E2E Hotel2 WorldPay System', function() {
cy.visit('https://obmng.dbm.guestline.net/');
cy.url().should('include','/obmng.dbm');
addContext(this,'URL is correct');
//loads hotel 2
cy.get('.jss189 > div > .jss69 > .jss230').click();
After much hacking about, I found a way to use Mochawesome addContext in Cypress.
Note, you can only make one addContext call per test (this is a Mochawesome limitation).
describe('DBM Smoketests', function() {
it('E2E Hotel2 WorldPay System', function() {
cy.visit('https://obmng.dbm.guestline.net/');
cy.url().should('include','/obmng.dbm');
Cypress.on('test:after:run', (test) => {
addContext({ test }, {
title: 'This is my context title',
value: 'This is my context value'
})
});
});
});
The second param is the context to be attached to the test, and it must have non-empty title and a value properties.
What you get in the mochawesome.json output is
...
"suites": [
{
...
"tests": [
{
"title": "E2E Hotel2 WorldPay System",
...
"context": "{\n \"title\": \"This is my context title\",\n \"value\": \"This is my context value\"\n}",
"code": "...",
...
}
],
In mochawesome.html, on clicking the test you get
Additional Test Context
This is my context title:
This is my context value
I have not tried it out with value types other than string.
Note for anyone starting out with Mochawesome in Cypress, it looks like you can only get a Mochawesome report with running cypress run, not with cypress open - although there may be a way around this using mocha's multiple reporter functionality.
Yes confirmed work! It's possible to call once in each test like this:
it('Should shine the test report!!!', () => {
cy.get('li').should('have.length.greaterThan', 0);
addTestContext('String','giphy');
addTestContext('Link','https://giphy.com');
addTestContext('Image','https://media.giphy.com/media/tIIdsiWAaBNYY/giphy.gif');
addTestContext('Image','https://media.giphy.com/media/tIIdsiWAaBNYY/giphy.gif');
});
function addTestContext(title, value) {
cy.once('test:after:run', test => addContext({ test }, { title, value }));
}
