We will be discussing a topic that has been talked about when it comes to E2E testing. It's vital to cover complete E2E testing, even if the user receives an email confirmation.

In this example, we will be looking at the forgot password feature on tes.com.
We will automate a test case to verify that the user receives an email to reset their password. We will be checking elements such as the From, Subject, and Body of the email.

The good news is that MailSlurp is a free API that lets you create real, randomized email addresses on demand. It also lets you send and receive email programmatically

Create an Inbox to get an email & Inbox ID (save it for later)

This will generate the cypress folder where we can create a spec file



 to 30 seconds, allowing our tests enough time to wait for emails to arrive. We will also modify the Cypress browser's viewport dimensions.

: Create a Spec file
Next, create a test spec in with the following folder structure:

let's write our first test in the above directory:

 with your mailslurp inbox id and email address

In this post we are going to cover a top that is highly important to take your cypress project to the next level.
I will be going to show you how to run cypress in a Jenkins pipeline via Docker container.

Docker installed & configured on your local machine

:
We will need to create some volumes for Jenkins Docker container

 command to pull down the Jenkins Docker image and serving the Jenkins App on 

If it's your first time running Jenkins, It will prompt you with Unlock Jenkins Page where you will need to enter an admin password. To retrieve this we can find it in the logs. It looks like this: 

You'll be requested to establish a user and log in for future sessions when you go passed the 'Unlock Jenkins' screen. Continue by creating your selected user.

The 'Customize Jenkins' page will appear after that. Continue by selecting 'Install Suggested Plugins'.

These are examples, you will need to modify them for your own project 

Docker file is optional as we can pull down the cypress docker image from Jenkinfile directly 

In this post I'm going to show you how to run Cypress in a Jenkins pipeline (via Docker).

Integrate Docker  & Jenkins in to Cypress

Cucumber is a tool that supports behavior-driven development (BDD). It runs automated acceptance tests written in BDD format. Cucumber provides a way to write tests that anybody can understand, regardless of their technical knowledge. It explains test steps and application behavior in simple English using the Gherkin language. 

Cucumber is an important testing tool for the following reasons:

No longer need to write test scripts in multiple languages such as javascript, Python, Java, etc.

It can be integrated with many Automation tools such as Cypress, Selenium, Ruby on Rails, and other web-based testing tools.

Run the following command to install Cypress locally:

Run the following command to install the Cucumber for Cypress package:

 Add the configuration Cypress environment files

In the spec files extension parameter in the 

 file, make sure to point to the feature files:

Let’s first write this test by just using Cypress:

), enters the username and the password and clicks the “

In Cypress, users can group multiple commands into a single custom command by creating a file called 

Now, use the custom command in the tests:

The above code is written using Cypress. Now, on using Gherkin for Cucumber, the code goes as follows:

I login’, ‘the url is {word}’, and ‘I’m logged in

. So create 3 step definitions. Create a Javascript file inside a directory named as the feature file (

Once this code runs, Cucumber will convert it into Cypress commands. And, that’s how it works.

Till now, we have written all the Cypress test scripts directly in the JavaScript files, but with the integration of Cucumber, the test structure will change, and now the entry points will be the Cucumber feature files.
