Cypress Tips September 2023

My blog is ten years old, new videos, plus security testing using Cypress

My Blog Post Turns 10 Years 🎉

I published the very first blog post Simplify your life with JShint ten years ago on September 17th, 2013. Wow, this was a long time ago. If you want to read my view of blogging, check out the 10 Years Of Blogging blog post.

New Cypress Videos

I was taking a break last month, still, there are a few new and interesting videos that I would recommend:

• Add A Cypress Test To Confirm The Filtered List Of Projects

• cypress-await Sync Mode Example

• See All Chrome Browser Command Line Flags Cypress Uses To Launch The Browser

• Validate Email Format Using Built-in Browser Input Element

• Type Placeholders Into The Form: manpm and cypress-await example

• Set Up Cypress Test Replay On GitHub Actions

• Disable ServiceWorker In Cypress Test

• Confirm The Number Of Elements In Different Scenarios

• Zero Or Three Elements After Loading The Data

The last two videos show this testing recipe. I highly recommend studying these examples to understand why checking for zero elements is a tricky testing case.

iJS Conference in New York

Catch me in New York next week at the iJS conference. I will teach Cypress and talk about Cypress vs Playwright.

Speaking of conferences: I made a presentation about testing code injection attacks using the new and shiny Cypress CSP experimental feature. Find the slides at https://slides.com/bahmutov/e2e-security.

What Am I Working On?

Aside from cypress-await, I am working on something pretty interesting and exciting related to the test IDs and attributes for selecting elements. Follow my blog and YT channel for updates.
