- We can create new custom commands or modify existing cypress commands
- These custom commands are nothing but a bunch of reusable code wrapped into a function
- The place to define or overwrite commands is in
cypress/support/commands.js file
- Since this file is loaded before any test files are evaluated
- Remember never jump on to create so many custom commands it will over complicate things.
- Select a suitable code block to put it as custom command
- For example, login & logout can be created as custom commands
Cypress.Commands.add("login", (email, password) => {
cy.get('#email').type(email);
cy.get('#passwd').type(password);
cy.get('#SubmitLogin').click();
})
/// <reference types="cypress" />
describe('E commerce Test Suite', () => {
it('Basic practice website Test', () => {
cy.visit("http://automationpractice.com/index.php?controller=authentication&back=my-account");
cy.login('[email protected]','automation')
cy.get('.account').invoke('text').then((text => {
expect(text.trim()).to.eq('abc');
}));
})
})
