In this tutorial, we will cover how to write your first test in Cypress. We will go over the basic Cypress syntax and run our tests using the Cypress Test Runner.
Creating your Cypress Test
describe('Home Tests', () => { it('open the home page and verify the url & title', () => { // open the Home Page cy.visit('https://practice.automationbro.com/'); // assert the url cy.url().should("include", "automationbro"); // assert the title cy.title().should("eq", "Practice E-Commerce Site – Automation Bro"); }); });
- to go to any URL, you can use the
cy.visit()
command - Cypress also provides various types of page assertions such as
cy.url()
andcy.title()
to assert the URL as well as the title of the page
Running your Cypress Test in the Cypress Test Runner
To open the Cypress Test Runner, you can execute the following command below –
npx cypress open
Once the Cypress Test Runner open up, you can execute your test which will show results similar to this below –
- You can see all the Cypress commands listed below such as visit, URL & title
- All your successful assertions will show in Green and failed assertions in Red
