Cypress

Testery has a Cypress.io test runner so that Cypress tests can be run on the Testery platform. Cypress is a next generation front end testing tool built for the modern web. Here is an overview of Cypress.

Here is a list of things Cypress claims it can do that no other testing framework can.

Read about what makes Cypress unique.

When running Cypress tests in Testery, there are a few things to take note of:

• Testery supports screenshots and video recordings

• Testery supports Chrome browser only

• Due to limits within the Cypress framework, we can only parallelize tests runs at the file level.

How to Take Screenshots & Videos with Cypress

In order to take high-resolution videos and screenshots with Cypress on Testery, you will need to configure some browser behavior in your cypress.config.js file. Add the following code:

module.exports = defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    // Other settings can go here
    viewportHeight: 1080,
    viewportWidth: 1920,
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      on('before:browser:launch', (browser = {}, launchOptions) => {
        if (browser.name === 'chrome') {
          launchOptions.args.push(`--window-size=1920,1080`)
      
          // force screen to be non-retina and just use our given resolution
          launchOptions.args.push('--force-device-scale-factor=1')
        }
        return launchOptions
      });
  }
});

Videos will be automatically recorded, but screenshots need to be triggered using the cy.screenshot() directive in your test code. Cypress' screenshot functionality provides a number of additional options you can explore here.
