NX

Running cypress tests in parallel with Currents for NX projects

The instructions below apply to @currents/nx 2.0.0+

Running cypress tests in NX project with Currents

Nx is a build system with monorepo support and powerful integrations. You can run cypress tests on Currents using @currents/nx plugin and defining a few configuration options.

Example

See https://github.com/currents-dev/currents-nx for an example installation and configuration

Setting up cypress with NX

First, install @currents/nx npm package.

npm i --save-dev @currents/nx cypress-cloud
# install cypress if needed
npm i --save-dev cypress

Add currents target to your project configuration.

{
  "targets": {
    "currents": {
      "executor": "@currents/nx:currents",
      "options": {
        "record": true,
        "parallel": true,
        "cypressConfig": "apps/app-e2e/cypres.config.ts",
        "devServerTarget": "my-react-app:serve",
        "testingType": "e2e"
      }
    }
  }
}

Create a new configuration file: currents.config.js next to cypress.config.{jt}s

// currents.config.js
module.exports = {
  // Set the `projected` and the record key obtained from https://app.currents.dev or your self-hosted instance of Sorry Cypress
  projectId: 'IfERfK',
  // Sorry Cypress users - set the director service URL
  cloudServiceUrl: 'https://cy.currents.dev',
};

Add cypress-cloud/plugin to cypress.config.{js|ts|mjs}

import { nxE2EPreset } from '@nrwl/cypress/plugins/cypress-preset';
import { defineConfig } from 'cypress';
import cloudPlugin from 'cypress-cloud/plugin';

export default defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    ...nxE2EPreset(__dirname, {
      bundler: 'vite',
    }),
    specPattern: './src/**/*.cy.ts',
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      return cloudPlugin(on, config);
    },
  },
});

Usage

npx nx run web-e2e:currents --key <recordKey> --ci-build-id hello-currents-nx
