Using cypress with uniforms...

[mdesousa]

Hi, has anyone had any experience using cypress.io (or similar ui testing frameworks) with uniforms?
We are looking for the best way to get reference to dom elements. It appears that uniforms is generating ids like uniforms-0000-0002. Do we know if these ids are constant for each field? How are these IDs generated? Would they be a reliable way to get field references for testing purposes?

Thanks!

Hi @mdesousa! The ids are generated in a stable way, but I wouldn't recommend relying on them for tests. You can do two things:

1. Provide your own ids or any other prop like data-cy and use them in tests.
2. Rely on names instead. These are not randomized at all and have a business meaning.
