Improvements to cypress implementation.

[mshima]

Overview of the issue

While doing some work related to https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/issues/14103. I've found some problems and improvements that we could make in our cypress implementation.

• Our tests could reduce roundtrips eg:
  • First test executes go to main page -> open menu -> go to entity page -> do some checks.
  • Every other test executes the first test + some other test.
• Remove unnecessary page visits.
• Our tests executes with prod profile, which doesn't includes fake data. Many tests are actually not executed at all without a registry in database, but reported as succeeded instead of skipped.

Motivation for or Use Case

• Reduce cypress execution times.
• Be more effective in our tests.

Suggest a Fix

• Start every other test from the entity page.
• Mock backend api when there is no registry in database so tests will be executed instead of skipped.

I'm changing the label, as it's more an improvement than a bug :)

Reading your ticket, one thing which is important, is to be able to execute the test alone. That explains why there are some repetitive steps
