This preprocessor aims to provide a developer experience and behavior similar to that of Cucumber, to Cypress.

ℹ️ The repositor has recently moved from github.com/TheBrainFamily to github.com/badeball. Read more about the transfer of ownership here.

$ npm install @badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor

The preprocessor (with its dependencies) parses Gherkin documents and allows you to write tests as shown below.

# cypress/e2e/duckduckgo.feature
Feature: duckduckgo.com
  Scenario: visiting the frontpage
    When I visit duckduckgo.com
    Then I should see a search bar

// cypress/e2e/duckduckgo.ts
import { When, Then } from "@badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor";

When("I visit duckduckgo.com", () => {
  cy.visit("https://www.duckduckgo.com");
});

Then("I should see a search bar", () => {
  cy.get("input").should(
    "have.attr",
    "placeholder",
    "Search the web without being tracked"
  );
});

For further documentation see docs and docs/quick-start.md.

See CONTRIBUTING.md.

Building can be done once using:

$ npm run build

Or upon file changes with:

$ npm run watch

There are multiple types of tests, all ran using npm scripts:

$ npm run test:fmt
$ npm run test:types
$ npm run test:unit
$ npm run test:integration # make sure to build first
$ npm run test # runs all of the above

A special thanks goes out to Łukasz Gandecki for developing and maintaning the cypress-cucumber integration before me, in addition to all other contributors. Some of the work has partially been sponsored by Klaveness Digital.
