Got it - I'll definitely look into adding this for the next release or perhaps a bit later. We're planning on adding the ability for you to do a "test run" of your test before saving it and I think this would be super useful there as well. |

I like the basic implementation! Limited commands so can't do much but the basics are there. I was able to add commands but trying to save just gave me a vague "Cypress was unable to save these commands to your spec file." But looking forward to seeing how this feature grows! |

Trying the Studio beta feature on my Mac running the latest OSX. I'm also getting this error no matter what I try -- Are there any configurations I can change or accessibility settings I need to change in order for this to work? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
So this error is most likely happening because sourcemaps aren't being generated properly and Studio is having a hard time finding the correct spot in your code to save the commands - there's a couple things that we can do to make this more resilient even without sourcemaps that we can work on for the next release. Are you using Typescript? We had a couple issues when testing this internally but thought they were mostly all resolved. Regardless of whether or not you're using ts, if you're able to share your tsconfig and webpack config that would really help us out in reproducing the issue. |

Hey, thanks so much for create Cypress - writing tests with Cypress are a game changer. It would be cool to be able to hook into the code when the "best" selector is being determined. |

@davincho Thanks for the feedback! You can currently customize the way that selectors are generated by configuring the Selector Playground (this will be documented under Cypress Studio soon, too.). You can actually specify a custom function for generating a selector if needed, but unfortunately it will still have to work with In the future it's possible that we may add a plugin system that makes it easier to "hook in" to different actions within Studio (and someone could add support for the 3rd party commands you mentioned). However, this is still an early experimental release so any support for a plugin system is likely far away. |

Thanks for linking the Selector Playground! We've been using data-cyid as a selector in our own app, I didn't realize we just had to change to data-cy to make the Cypress Studio super helpful! |

It would be great if during the experimental phase (or permanently) could output the recorded steps in "raw" format to the log or to an expandable textarea in the left pane, either in csv format or line by line with the number being the test step delimiter which you already are logging in the left pane. Sample: --- OR --- |

This would be very helpful until you have fixed the saving issue, because I'm currently using a framework that converts csv to cypress code, so I could already leverage the recording results if they were outputted in csv format |

My spec name had spaces in it (doh), I tried another one without spaces and it saved fine. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I still think the "Copy to Clip Board" would be very valuable because then you have the flexibility to modify it by adding some existing @Aliases and maybe paste the command steps to an existing function or a before each block instead of just using the command steps in the current test spec |

I'm looking for an elegant way to be-able to read csv files that describes "dynamic tests" from fixtures prior to tests are being loaded. I know I can do it by adding a csv loader to the webpack config, or I can describe what need in json format and just use require('my.json') but the foot print is so much smaller when you describe the test in csv vs. json and much much faster to author in csv format. |

When attempting to provide feedback via the 'Give Feedback' button in the Testrunner, Cypress shuts down if you're running the test in the Electron browser. TypeError: Cannot read property 'show' of undefined 'Give Feedback' works fine when running tests in Chrome or Edge. Maybe worth to note I upgraded to Cypress 6.4.0 before using Cypress Studio. Don't know if Cypress Studio is not intended to be used with Electron. If so perhaps you could add the use of Chrome or Edge to the prerequisites of the Realworld-App |

I really like this feature. My main feedback is that I would like to see more commands implemented, specifically I think keyboard presses should be recorded so we can do testing of keyboard accessibility. I would like to assume more commands are planned, but I don't see issues in the backlog. Somewhat related to keyboard testing, it would also be helpful if the testing "frame" was focused when you click the record button. This way, the tab order will start at the right place. |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
Thanks for the feedback! So keyboard presses is something that could definitely be implemented fairly easily, my only concern is that it might create a lot of unwanted commands accidentally for users that are not trying to test accessibility/keyboard shortcuts. We could definitely implement something with a toggle switch which would enable the best of both worlds. Unfortunately, tabbing is not supported in Cypress so I'm not sure that there would be any benefit to focusing the frame at the start. |

Hello! This tandem makes Storybook-like solutions almost useless for me. Each test can be considered as an example and it’s definitely better than support “stories” in separated files. Hope that https://github.com/evanw/esbuild or similar projects will be more mature and popular and compile time won’t be a problem soon. P.S. There is a visual bug in cypress@6.5.0. Studio’s magic wand icon becomes invisible in case you have long description string in ‘it()’ statement. Sorry, can’t attach the screenshot now as I write it from phone. |

Thank you for this helpful tool! Just wondering if there is a way to auto-generate intercepted routes via Cypress Studio? Meaning that when adding commands to the spec I could right click a link and an intercepted route is generated by the studio. ChatGPT is suggesting ("Right click on an element that you want to assert on or intercept a request from.") that there is such a feature but all that I can find is the normal right-click Assertion options. Or maybe I misunderstood something. |

No such feature exists in Studio at this point. Can you explain more about how you would like this to work? Eg: I'm understanding you want to click a button and it launches an API request, and you'd like to intercept this. Do you want to return some mock data? Eg, you'd like to see a UI that lets you chose a fixture, or enter some test data, as part of the Studio flow? |

When creating integration tests for our frontend I find it tedious and time consuming to create intercepted requests/responses. For instance clicking a button or navigating to a new page can in worst case create dozen backend calls to different service apis. After making changes in the ui you make new requests to same apis with modified request and response data. Ideally when clicking a button or navigating I could (right click) choose to create a named intercepted requests with fixtures for all api calls that take place after the event. |

Thanks for the reply - can I probe you for some more information?
Agreed, sounds tedious.
It sounds like you'll still need to go through the tedious process of making those intercepts, though -- If I'm understanding correctly, you aren't really looking to change the process and end result (the generated test) but just have a UI that makes it faster / better? If you have any ideas (even a drawing made in Paint, or something) feel free to share it here. I'm keeping an eye on all the feedback / feature requests here in the meantime, and figuring out how they would be implemented / how much work / value they will have relative to each other. |

Hey team, As an automation developer with two years of experience in Cypress, I recently explored the idea of involving non-technical testers in test automation using Cypress Studio. While I appreciate the tool's potential, I've identified a few drawbacks that I believe need consideration and improvement: Inconsistent Element Selection:Cypress Studio uses a structure from the outermost HTML element to the innermost for element selection. This approach can result in inconsistency and might not be the most robust method for all scenarios. Dynamic Selectors and Coordinates:Cypress Studio occasionally utilizes dynamic selectors that change with each run and coordinates as selectors, creating inconsistency, especially when dependent on window size. A more stable approach to element selection could enhance the reliability of tests. Default Wait Time and API Waits:Cypress Studio lacks a default wait time, and automatic API waits are not included in the generated code. Running code without manually adding waits may lead to failures, particularly when there's no wait for the required page to load. Including better support for handling wait times in the generated code would significantly improve the tool's usability. I believe addressing these concerns would make Cypress Studio more user-friendly for non-technical testers. I appreciate your consideration of these suggestions and look forward to seeing how Cypress Studio evolves. These proposed changes aim to improve the user experience, reduce potential sources of test failure, and ultimately make Cypress Studio a more effective and user-friendly tool for non-technical testers. Your consideration of these enhancements is crucial in achieving a more streamlined and reliable automated testing process. |

Of course and now that I am back to writing cypress tests again and generating non-trivial amount of intercepted api calls it is time to provide it. Playing around with browser dev-tools realized that it is possible to generate intercepts from the output of "Copy all as HAR". Would love to have a feature in Cypress that would allow me to generate code for the intercepted calls from this "HTTP Archive Format" log file. Work flow would involve:
Hope this clarifies the request (pun intended) bit more :) |
