This is a test Cypress project for learning purposes

I created this project to test various things with Cypress and just overall refine my automation skills.

This project is structured as a BDD automation project and uses Cypress' Cucumber plugin.

A lot of these tests will be using the site http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/ which is a site that has many great examples for testing automation skills. That is why the baseUrl happens to be that site.

To run cypress UI:

npx cypress open

To run headless Cypress (console-only):

npx cypress open

Before committing a change:

1. run npm run lint:all
2. fix any issues found.

Side note: cypress.env.json in a normal project should be ignored by git since it generally holds passwords. However in this project any password I use is public knowledge so it is no issue.

Need to do:

• add some tests in mobile view and different viewports
• get some tags
• Work on cypress config
• add custom cypress commands
• make more custom tests
• make some tests that test only apis: get apis from https://rapidapi.com/hub
• make some tests that manipulate a website by mocking api items
• For the tests that won't run in non-chromium based browsers use the techniques mentioned here to prevent them from running if user runs with anything else.
  • https://learn.cypress.io/advanced-cypress-concepts/how-to-test-various-browsers-and-viewports
• create some tests using these methods
