Writing cypress integration test

The integration tests are written using Cypress. Since Waypoint is mostly a web UI, we start the extension and then browse the url of the web UI and test it using Cypress.

  • Cypress tests are in cypress/integration folder and you can add a new one there.
  • You have to build the extension before executing tests by running yarn build
  • Start the VSCode extension host by running yarn e2e. This will load our extension in a VSCode instance with src/test/dummy-project-used-by-tests as the workspace folder.
  • To run the cypress UI, run yarn cypress-open and you can click any tests to run it.
