CLI
The CLI is used to build the cypress npm module to be run within a terminal.
The CLI has the following responsibilities:
- Allow users to print CLI commands
- Allow users to install the Cypress executable
- Allow users to print their current Cypress version
- Allow users to run Cypress tests from the terminal
- Allow users to open Cypress in the interactive Test Runner.
- Allow users to verify that Cypress is installed correctly and executable
- Allow users to manages the Cypress binary cache
- Allow users to pass in options that change way tests are ran or recorded (browsers used, specfiles ran, grouping, parallelization)
Building
See scripts/build.js. Note that the built npm package will include NPM_README.md as its public README file.
Testing
Automated
From the repo's root, you can run unit tests with:
yarn test-unit --scope cypress
yarn test-watch --scope cypress
yarn test-debug --scope cypress
This will take and compare snapshots of the CLI output. To update snapshots, see snap-shot-it instructions: https://github.com/bahmutov/snap-shot-it#advanced-use
Manual
To build and test an NPM package:
yarnyarn build
This creates build folder.
cd build; yarn pack
This creates an archive, usually named cypress-v<version>.tgz. You can install this archive from other projects, but because there is no corresponding binary yet (probably), skip binary download. For example from inside cypress-example-kitchensink folder
yarn add ~/{your-dirs}/cypress/cli/build/cypress-3.3.1.tgz --ignore-scripts
Which installs the tgz file we have just built from folder Users/jane-lane/{your-dirs}/cypress/cli/build.
