Matt Henkes 50ffd5ee1d chore: add telemetry to the proxy (#26695)
* chore: set up instrumentation and instrument middleware

* chore: set up console exporter

* chore: add parent span option to telemetry package

* chore: set up telemetry verbose mode

* chore: instrument the network proxy - part 1

* chore: make sure to terminate spans when request is aborted

* fix telemetry, create/end the request middle prior to sending the outbound request

* avoid telemetry ts build step, create entrypoint into packages/telemetry using TS conventions

* allow env vars to be "true" or "1"

* when creating child span, inherit their attributes directly from the parent

* create custom honeycomb exporter and span processor to log traces

* remove duplicate code that's already called in this.setRootContext

* cleanup

* more clean up

* update honeycomb network:proxy attributes, update console.log message

* yarn lock

* chore: remove performance API in middleware

* chore: end response on correct event

* recursively gather parent attributes on close

* added key and some clean up

* github action detector, move verbose into index, verbose log commands

* some tests

* clean up honeycomb exporter

* some renaming

* testing console trace link exporter

* Don't lose the top span when running in verbose.

* link to the right place for prod/dev

* changes to verbose to make sure it is read in the browser

* Apply suggestions from code review

* pass parent attributes between telemetry instances

* default to false

* 'fix' build issues

* src not dist

* add back on start span

* once more with feeling

* Fix some tests

* try this i guess

* revert auto build

* Apply suggestions from code review

Server

The server is the heart of the Cypress application. All of this code represents the node process running behind the browser application. This node process is responsible for:

  • Proxying every byte coming in and out of the browser
  • Performing and normalizing automation tasks for each browser
  • Coordinating and synchronizing state with the launchpad and driver packages
  • Performing node specific tasks on behalf of the driver
  • Instantiating and orchestrating nearly every other layer and package
  • Spinning up various static file and http servers
  • Communicating with our external API's
  • Recording videos of run
  • Managing mocha reporters
  • Managing 3rd party plugins

The driver and the server are the two most complex packages of Cypress.

Developing

To run the Cypress server:

## boots the entire Cypress application
yarn start

Since the server controls nearly every aspect of Cypress, after making changes you'll need to manually restart Cypress.

Since this is slow, it's better to drive your development with tests.

Building

Note: you should not ever need to build the .js files manually. @packages/ts provides require-time transpilation when in development.

yarn workspace @packages/server build-prod

You can also use the test-watch command to rerun a test file whenever there is a change:

yarn test-watch /test/path/to/spec.js

Running individual unit tests

yarn test <path/to/test>
yarn test test/unit/api_spec.js
## or
yarn test-unit api_spec ## shorthand, uses globbing to find spec

Running individual integration tests

yarn test <path/to/test>
yarn test test/integration/cli_spec.js
## or
yarn test-integration cli_spec ## shorthand, uses globbing to find spec

Running e2e/system tests

With the addition of Component Testing, e2e tests have been renamed to system-tests and moved to the system-tests directory.

Updating snapshots

Prepend SNAPSHOT_UPDATE=1 to any test command. See snap-shot-it instructions for more info.

SNAPSHOT_UPDATE=1 yarn test test/unit/api_spec.js
SNAPSHOT_UPDATE=1 yarn test test/integration/cli_spec.js

V8 Snapshots

In order to improve start up time, Cypress uses electron mksnapshot for generating v8 snapshots for both development and production.

Cypress code is automatically set up to run using snapshots. If you want to run Cypress in development without the v8 snapshot (for debugging purposes or to see if there's a problem with the snapshot or the code itself) you can set the environment variable DISABLE_SNAPSHOT_REQUIRE to 1 or true.
