In this article, we will learn how to use and
set up the Cypress Dashboard Service.
What is Cypress Dashboard?
The Cypress Dashboard is
a service that gives you access to recorded tests - typically when running
Cypress tests from your CI provider. The Dashboard provides you insight into what
happened when your tests ran.
The Dashboard allows you to:
- See the number of failed, passing,
pending and skipped tests.
- Get the entire stack trace of
failed tests.
- View screenshots were taken when
tests fail or when using cy.screenshot().
Before moving further I would highly recommend
reading this article on creating your first Cypress project.
Let’s now see how to configure the
Cypress.io project that we have created in our last article with
Cypress.io Dashboard.
- The first thing is we have to open
our cypress Project using Cypress open command. Refer to this article point no 5.
- Login either using your exiting
GitHub or Google account.
- Click on Runs option present at top of the screen
- Click on Setup a New project
- Provide the name of the project
and click on the Setup project. A project will be created successfully.
- You will get a screen as I showed
in the below screenshot
- Copy the command and execute from
your Command prompt
Once
executed, another Cypress.io Server install will be created and the tests will start to execute heedlessly.
- While this is executing, when you
launch the dashboard service, you will
be able
to notice that the execution status will be Running
- All the details will also be available
in the terminal logs.
