Using Cypress module api [question] #41

Closed filiphric closed 5 years ago

filiphric commented 5 years ago

Percy tutorial shows that running Percy requires wrapping cypress run command in percy exec command.

I am however using module api to run my Cypress tests. Is there any way to use Percy with this method of running Cypress?

Hey Filip!

How do you run your tests in your application? Looking at this Cypress example of the test module API it seems you can wrap the mocha command with percy exec. So this line: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-test-module-api/blob/master/package.json#L8 would become 

"test": "percy exec -- mocha --timeout 20000 test/spec.js",

Hopefully this helps!

@filiphric did you find a workaround for this? I am just running into the same problem. 😿

It's not possible yet (look out for this SDK to be upgraded: https://docs.percy.io/docs/migrating-to-percy-cli#current-migration-status)

Once this SDK uses the new SDK tool chain (@percy/cli and friends) this will be possible with @percy/core. For example this is how Google AMP uses core: https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/blob/4e459d08acbe04528ffefe1a63665edf3a867470/build-system/tasks/visual-diff/index.js#L164-L175

@pascalism I run percy & cypress with module API like this: percy exec -- cypress.js where cypress.js is the name of the module file
