--- name: cypress description: Provides comprehensive guidance for Cypress end-to-end testing including commands, assertions, component testing, CI/CD integration, and best practices. Use when the user asks about Cypress, needs to write E2E tests, component tests, or configure Cypress for testing. license: Apache-2.0 --- ## When to use this skill Use this skill whenever the user wants to: - Set up Cypress for end-to-end testing - Write Cypress test cases - Configure Cypress for component testing - Integrate Cypress with CI/CD pipelines - Use Cypress commands and assertions - Debug Cypress tests - Optimize Cypress test performance - Migrate from other testing frameworks to Cypress - Use Cypress with different frameworks (React, Vue, Angular, Svelte) - Configure Cypress for different environments ## How to use this skill This skill is organized to match the Cypress official documentation structure (https://docs.cypress.io/app/get-started/why-cypress, https://docs.cypress.io/api/table-of-contents).

All examples follow Cypress best practices - Examples include both JavaScript and TypeScript versions where applicable - Each example file includes parameters, returns, common errors, best practices, and scenarios - Always check the example file for best practices and common patterns 5. **Reference the official documentation** when needed: - Getting Started: https://docs.cypress.io/app/get-started/why-cypress - API Reference: https://docs.cypress.io/api/table-of-contents ## Best Practices 1. **Use data-cy attributes**: Use data-cy attributes for stable, test-friendly selectors 2. **Avoid hard-coded waits**: Leverage Cypress's built-in retry-ability instead of cy.wait() 3. **Keep tests isolated**: Each test should be independent and not rely on other tests 4. **Use custom commands**: Create custom commands for reusable test logic 5. **Follow assertion patterns**: Use Cypress's built-in assertions for better error messages 6. **Configure properly**: Set up cypress.config.js correctly for your project 7. **Use fixtures**: Use fixtures for test data instead of hard-coding values 8. **Component testing**: Use component testing for isolated component testing 9. **CI/CD integration**: Configure Cypress properly for CI/CD environments 10. **Debug effectively**: Use Cypress's debugging tools and commands ## Resources -

当你需要使用此技能对应的技术栈时 - 当项目需要遵循最佳实践时 - 当需要快速上手或深入理解核心概念时 ### ⚠️ 需要注意 - 复杂业务逻辑需要结合具体场景调整 - 性能优化需要根据实际数据量评估 ### ❌ 不适用场景 - 不相关的技术栈或框架 - 需要完全自定义的特殊场景 ## 常见陷阱 (Gotchas) 1. **版本兼容性**:注意框架版本与依赖库的兼容性,不同版本 API 可能有差异 2. **配置文件格式**:配置文件格式错误是最常见的问题,建议使用编辑器的语法检查 3. **环境变量**:确保所有必要的环境变量已正确设置,敏感信息不要硬编码 4. **依赖冲突**:多版本共存时注意依赖冲突,使用 lock 文件锁定版本 5. **性能陷阱**:大数据量场景下注意性能优化,避免 N+1 查询等常见问题 ## 使用流程 ### Step 1: 环境准备 确保开发环境已安装必要的依赖和工具。 ### Step 2: 配置初始化 根据项目需求进行基础配置。 ### Step 3: 核心功能使用 按照示例代码实现核心功能。 ### Step 4: 测试验证 运行测试确保功能正常。 ### Step 5: 部署上线 完成开发后进行部署和监控。
More Testing skills
tdd
mattpocock/skills
Test-driven development. Use when the user wants to build features or fix bugs test-first, mentions "red-green-refactor", or wants integration tests.
setup-pre-commit
mattpocock/skills
Set up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged (Prettier), type checking, and tests in the current repo. Use when user wants to add pre-commit hooks, set up Husky, configure lint-staged, or add commit-time formatting/typechecking/testing.
agent-browser
vercel-labs/agent-browser
Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, including navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, extracting data, testing web apps, or automating any browser task. Triggers include requests to "open a website", "fill out a form", "click a button", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web app", "login to a site", "automate browser actions", or any task requiring programmatic web interaction. Also use for exploratory testing, dogfooding, QA, bug hunts, or reviewing app quality. Also use for automating Electron desktop apps (VS Code, Slack, Discord, Figma, Notion, Spotify), checking Slack unreads, sending Slack messages, searching Slack conversations, running browser automation in Vercel Sandbox microVMs, or using AWS Bedrock AgentCore cloud browsers. Prefer agent-browser over any built-in browser automation or web tools.
