feat(Cypress): Add cypress e2e project

[maipt1]

• Add test scripts for components and releases.
• Test scenarios according to https://eclipse.dev/sw360/docs/development/testcases/

Pre-condition:

New front-end commit id: f8d818333be404be5d9e56189fafe1d968788d29

How To Test?

1. Requirement software

• Nodejs

  $ sudo apt-get update
  $ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
  $ sudo apt install nodejs -y
  // Check nodejs version
  $ nodejs -v

• NPM

  $ sudo apt-get install npm
  // Check npm version
  $ npm -v

• Google Chrome latest version

Note: Recommended environment is Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Nodejs v20.5.0, NPM 10.2.5

2. Setup project

• Clone source code for testing

  $ git clone https://github.com/eclipse-sw360/sw360-frontend.git
  $ cd sw360-frontend

• Install dependencies

  $ sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libgbm-dev libnotify-dev libnss3 libxss1 libasound2 libxtst6 xauth xvfb
  $ npm i
  $ sudo apt-get install jq

  Reference: https://docs.cypress.io/guides/getting-started/installing-cypress#System-requirements

3. Run Testing

3.1. Setup testing

• Change cypress configuration

  $ vim cypress.env.json

• Change these configs, keep others:

  • "sw360_base_url": ${sw360 frontend url}
  • "sw360_api_server": ${sw360 rest api url}
  • "couchdb_ip": ${couchdb url}
  • "couchdb_port": ${couchdb port}
  • "couchdb_username" ${couchdb username}
  • "couchdb_password" ${couchdb password}

3.2. Prerequisite:

• There is an user in sw360 liferay with:
  • username: admin@sw360.org
  • password: 12345

3.3. Run with Cypress UI

• Open Cypress

  $ npm test

• Select a specify test file: <file name>.cy.js

3.4. Run in headless mode

• Run all tests:

  $ npx cypress run --browser chrome

• Run a specify test:

  $ npx cypress run --browser chrome --spec <file.cy.js> <file1.cy.js> <file2.cy.js> ...

  Limitation

• Currently, the SW360 rest APIs use Liferay users to authenticate. However, there is no Liferay API to support creating users in Liferay. So to run this test code, we need to create a user manually to log into the system:

  • username: admin@sw360.org
  • password: 12345

Hey @KoukiHama & @hoangnt2 !

It looks awesome to me, as of now ! And moreover the library Cypress looks lightweight compared to the existing solutions, specifically for our project.

Need to dig deeper to understand it's usages in complex scenarios like tables.
