@cypress/snapshot

Adds value / object / DOM element snapshot testing support to Cypress test runner

NPM

Build status semantic-release renovate-app badge

Note



Please take a look at a few other Cypress snapshot plugins:

Install

Requires Node version 10 or above.

npm install --save-dev @cypress/snapshot

Import

After installing, add the following to your cypress/support/commands.js file

require("@cypress/snapshot").register();

This registers a new command to create new snapshot or compare value to old snapshot

and add the following to your cypress.config.js

  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      require("@cypress/snapshot").tasks(on, config)
    },

Note: @cypress/snapshot requires the readFileMaybe plugin to be included, which can be easily done using the code above

Usage

Currently, if you want to take more than one snapshot, you need to pass a Step Name to prevent overwrites / test failures

describe("my tests", () => {
  it("works", () => {
    cy.log("first snapshot");
    cy.wrap({ foo: 42 }).snapshot("foo");
    cy.log("second snapshot");
    cy.wrap({ bar: 101 }).snapshot("bar");
  });
});

In the above case, you can find the stored snapshot in their own files, mentioned above them

// cypress/snapshots/my-tests-works-foo.json
{"foo": 42}
// cypress/snapshots/my-tests-works-bar.json
{"bar": 101}

If you change the site values, the saved snapshot will no longer match, throwing an error

( picture taken from cypress/snapshots/Arrays.json) Snapshot mismatch

Click on the SNAPSHOT step in the Command Log to see expected and current value printed in the DevTools.

Options

You can control snapshot comparison and behavior through a few options.

cy.get(...).snapshot({
  snapshotName: 'Snapshot Name', // to use as a File Name
  snapshotPath: 'cypress/not_snapshots', // where to save the Snapshot
  json: false                  // convert DOM elements into JSON 
})                            // when storing in the snapshot file

// will save as 
// cypress/not_snapshots/Snapshot-Name.json

You can also pass a "Step Name" to the Function

cy.get(...).snapshot("Intercepted API Request")
// will save as 
// cypress/snapshots/<context>-<describe>-<it>-Intercepted-API-Request.json
// to prevent duplications

or both

cy.get(...).snapshot("Intercepted API Request", {
  snapshotPath: "cypress/snapshots/api",
  snapshotName: "first_intercept" 
})

// will save as 
// cypress/snapshots/api/first_intercept.json

Configuration

This module provides some configuration options:

snapshotPath

Sets the default Path for saving Snapshots (default: cypress/snapshots)
