New Project Initialization

How to run Cypress test on the specific project for specific client’s partition.

Setup project URL

• change URL for your project in cypress.config.js

• baseUrl

  • URL for a react version of the price fx application with “modules“ at the end

  • example for a demo partition: baseUrl: 'https://demo-eu.demo1.pricefx.com/app/modules/',

• apiUrl

  • URL for api commands

  • example for a demo partiton: apiUrl: 'https://demo-eu.demo1.pricefx.com/pricefx/',

• emberBaseUrl

  • URL for ember version

  • example for a demo partition: emberBaseUrl: 'https://demo-eu.demo1.pricefx.com/app/',

Setup local credentials

• needed for using cypress and login to specific partition

• update file \cypress\fixtures\testUsersUtils.js

• change placeholders for your real credentials

  • example:

    • username: testUser

    • partition: michelin-dev

    • password: askjdkj29292?

⚠️ do not deploy real credentials to the git (there are masked variables linked to placeholders)

explanation where are credentials in Git

• placeholders refer to the file gitlab-ci.yml and real values are stored in Git lab settings (CI/CD Settings)

Create workspace for your tests

• start on your local computer (starting point is already cloned repository e2e-automation)

• work according projects rules

• after approval from solution architect or project manager

  • you can create a new branch in project repository

  • schedule automation pipeline for cypress tests according defined rules (every night, week, release, merge…..)

Data management

• the most harder part of test automation

• make sure no one will change data for the test run

• prepare data before the test run

• clean data after the test run as much as possible
