Ben Kucera f77ec01c18 chore:fix ui-components dependencies, web-config deps for yarn (#6534)
- add needed deps in `ui-components` package
- upgrade `@cypress/webpack-preprocessor`
- refactor some eslint code, remove unused eslint scripts
- rename `build-js` scripts to `build-prod` since they'll only need to run when building for prod / checking for tsc errors

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:

  • yarn
  • yarn 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.
