Cypress Firefox

 



# Getting Started with Applitools

List of browsers available for Cypress tests. Test in Chrome, Firefox & Edge on Windows and Mac OS X. Cypress is the new standard in front-end testing that every developer and QA engineer needs. Back to Cypress blog Today, we're excited to release the highly-anticipated support for Firefox and the new Microsoft Edge browsers in Cypress 4.0. Adding the capability to run Cypress tests in Firefox has been one of the most frequently requested features by the community.

Want to learn more about the Applitools platform and how it works? First get started with one of the following:

Cypress run -browser firefox:nightly If you want to use this command in CI, you will need to install these browsers. Firefox will launch in headed mode by default. However, you can pass the –headless argument to cypress run.

# Running Tests with Applitools

Prerequisites
  1. A free Applitools account and Applitools API KEY

Tip: Unsure how to set up your API key?

Learn how to get started at Setting Up

  1. Node.js https://nodejs.org​

  2. Git https://git-scm.com​

Note: Installing `git` is optional

Installing git is used to clone the demo project from the Github repository. Instead of installing git, you can simply download the Zip file from the repository. Further, if you are Mac, you already have git.

  1. Google Chrome Browser https://www.google.com/chrome/

# Running the Example Project

  1. Clone or download the repository and navigate to that folder

Note: you can alternatively download the project as a Zip file and extract it

  1. Install the dependencies
  1. Set up Applitools Eyes
  1. Run the example test

To run all of the tests in interactive mode, run:

Then click on the ultraFastGrid.spec.js test. The tests uses Chrome just once and sends the DOM snapshot to the Ultrafast Grid. The Grid will then render the DOM snapshot in the cloud. You need to wait 15-30 seconds.

To run all of the tests inside of the terminal, run:

TIP

The project additionally has a CI mode configured,which will run all of the tests inside of the terminalin headless mode. Ps3 demos download free. You can run this with: npm run test:ci

# Applitools Eyes Cypress SDK

# How it works

The Applitools Eyes Cypress SDK is a simple plugin to Cypress. Once installed, it adds few commands to the main cy object. Specifically, it adds three main methods, cy.eyesOpen to start the test, cy.eyesCheckWindow to take screenshots (for each test step) and cy.eyesClose to close the test.

Note: Supports Chrome, Firefox and Mobile simulators

The interesting thing is that even though you run your Cypress tests using Chrome browser, you can still add visual validations using both Chrome and Firefox! This is because we upload the DOM and assets to our Visual Grid that was rendered in Chrome and open it in Firefox or Chrome as per the settings. The same thing happens in mobile simulators as well.

The picture below shows how it works

  1. You run the Cypress test as usual

  2. Everytime you call cy.eyesCheckWindow, the SDK grabs the DOM and other assets asynchronously. And stores it locally until all the tests are done.

  3. Once all the Cypress tests are done, the SDK uploads all the assets to the Visual Grid server

  4. The Visual Grid server then opens up the assets in real browsers (Firefox or Chrome), or in mobile simulators, and with appropriate Viewport depending on what was set in the tests. Note that all these happen concurrently in the cloud. Scph 90000 bios.

  5. As and when the rendering happens, the Applitools Eyes server gets notification about it and the eyes server then compares the pictures using AI and advanced algorithms and shows the results.
