Cypress Installation


After successful installation of the needed tools, we can clone an existing project. All dependencies and Cypress will be downloaded automatically.

Precondition

  • correct permissions to Git repository (/qa-customer-solutions/e2e-automation.git)

  • installed Yarn on your PC

  • installed Cypress

The cleanest way

  1. Clone the https://gitlab.pricefx.eu/qa-customer-solutions/e2e-automation repository to your local drive by running the following command in your command line :

    git clone https://gitlab.pricefx.eu/qa-customer-solutions/e2e-automation.git
    


  2. Step inside the newly created directory (e2e-automation) :

    cd e2e-automation
    


  3. Install all the dependencies necessary:

    yarn install
    


  4. Now cypress with all dependencies should be installed and you can open cypress

    yarn cypress open
      or
    node_modules\.bin\cypress open
      or
    node_modules\\.bin\\cypress open
      or
    node_modules/.bin/cypress open
    



Comments

  • you can clone repository by any git tool (or download directly in zip)

  • you can use different approach how to install cypress (download directly from their web, or using “npm install cypress”)

  • you can run cypress directly via icon, using command line is not mandatory

  • when it is not working, you can look at these approaches, how to install or you can ask your more senior colleague
