Installation

NOTE: this is not published on npm yet. It's a work in progress. Consider Cypress Angular by JS Cutlery for a version that's currently working and available on npm.

npm install -D cypress @cypress/angular

Ensure you have a version of Cypress > 7.

Add the following to your support file:

// cypress/support/component.js
// core-js 3.*
require('core-js/es/reflect');
// core-js 2.*
require('core-js/es7/reflect');
require('@cypress/angular/support');

Enable component testing in cypress.config.js.

module.exports = {
  "component": {
    "specPattern": "src/**/*.cy.ts"
  }
}

Configure cypress.config.js to transpile Angular code.

import { defineConfig } from 'cypress'
import * as webpackConfig from './webpack.config';

export default defineConfig({
  component: {
    devServer: {
      bundler: 'webpack',
      webpackConfig
    }
  }
})

The webpack.config.ts file is here.

Use

import { initEnv, mount } from '@cypress/angular'
import { AppModule } from '../app.module'
import { InputComponent } from './input.component'

describe('InputComponent', () => {
  it('should show default value input', () => {
    initEnv(InputComponent)
    mount(InputComponent)
    cy.contains('My input value 4')
  })

  it('should replace default value input', () => {
    initEnv({ declarations: [InputComponent] })
    mount(InputComponent, { myInput: 9 })
    cy.contains('My input value 9')
  })

  it('should show default value input with AppModule', () => {
    initEnv({ imports: [AppModule] })
    mount(InputComponent)
    cy.contains('My input value 4')
  })
})

Examples

Use case	Description
Input	Test inject @Input() value

Bootstrap	Bootstrap integration with style : setConfig({ stylesheet: 'https://...});
Add style	Add custom style for testing : setConfig({ style: 'p {background-color: blue;}' });
HTML mount	Mount a component with html, don't forget to call detectChanges() after
Image Snapshot	Mount a component and visual asserting
Material	Material integration
Prime NG	PrimeNG integration
OnPush strategy	Component with changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush need call detectChanges()
Directive	Test directive with mountHtml
Pipe	Test pipe with mountHtml
Stub service	Stub a service with Observable
Only service	Test a service without a component
Web Component	Test a custom element with shadow dom
Assets	assets folder accessible by Cypress
Async	Async test with cy.tick
Routing	Test routing link

Code coverage

Integration test

• Install ngx-build-plus to extends the Angular CLI's build process and instrument the code

npm i -D ngx-build-plus

• Add webpack coverage config file coverage.webpack.js to cypress folder

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(js|ts)$/,
        loader: 'istanbul-instrumenter-loader',
        options: { esModules: true },
        enforce: 'post',
        include: require('path').join(__dirname, '..', 'src'),
        exclude: [
          /\.(e2e|spec)\.ts$/,
          /node_modules/,
          /(ngfactory|ngstyle)\.js/,
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

• Update angular.json to use ngx-build with extra config

"serve": {
  "builder": "ngx-build-plus:dev-server",
  "options": {
    "browserTarget": "cypress-angular-coverage-example:build",
    "extraWebpackConfig": "./cypress/coverage.webpack.js"
  },
}

• Instrument JS files with istanbul for code coverage reporting

npm i -D istanbul-instrumenter-loader

• Add cypress code coverage plugin

npm install -D @cypress/code-coverage

• Then add the code below to your component support file

import '@cypress/code-coverage/support';

• Then add the code below to your cypress configuration

{
  ...
  component: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      require('@cypress/code-coverage/task')(on, config);
      return config;
    }
  }
};

Unit test

• Instrument JS files with istanbul for code coverage reporting

npm i -D istanbul-instrumenter-loader

• In your cypress/plugins/cy-ts-preprocessor.ts add this rule

rules: [
  {
    test: /\.(js|ts)$/,
    loader: 'istanbul-instrumenter-loader',
    options: { esModules: true },
    enforce: 'post',
    include: path.join(__dirname, '../..', 'src'),
    exclude: [/\.(e2e|spec)\.ts$/, /node_modules/, /(ngfactory|ngstyle)\.js/],
  },
];

Report

You can find the HTML report at coverage/lcov-report/index.html

Debugging

You can turn on debugging log by setting environment variable :

// Unix
export DEBUG="@cypress/angular,cypress:webpack:dev-server"

// PowerShell
$env:DEBUG="@cypress/angular,cypress:webpack:dev-server"

Development

This project only transpiles the library, to see it in action:

• Install dependencies yarn
• Compile the library yarn build or yarn watch for watch mode
• Open Cypress with yarn cy:open
