@nrwl/angular:cypress-component-configuration
Add a Cypress component testing configuration to an existing project. Cypress v10.7.0 or higher is required.
Can I use component testing?Angular component testing with Nx requires Cypress version 10.7.0 and up.
You can migrate with to v10 via the migrate-to-cypress-10 generator.
This generator is for Cypress based component testing.
If you want to test components via Storybook with Cypress, then check out the storybook-configuration generator docs
This generator is designed to get your Angular project up and running with Cypress Component Testing.
nx g @nrwl/angular:cypress-component-configuration --project=my-cool-angular-project
Running this generator, adds the required files to the specified project with a preconfigured cypress.config.ts designed for Nx workspaces.
import { defineConfig } from 'cypress';
import { nxComponentTestingPreset } from '@nrwl/angular/plugins/component-testing';
export default defineConfig({
component: nxComponentTestingPreset(__filename),
});
Here is an example on how to add custom options to the configuration
import { defineConfig } from 'cypress';
import { nxComponentTestingPreset } from '@nrwl/angular/plugins/component-testing';
export default defineConfig({
component: {
...nxComponentTestingPreset(__filename),
// extra options here
},
});
Specifying a Build Target
Component testing requires a build target to correctly run the component test dev server. This option can be manually specified with --build-target=some-angular-app:build, but Nx will infer this usage from the project graph if one isn't provided.
For Angular projects, the build target needs to be using the @nrwl/angular:webpack-browser or @angular-devkit/build-angular:browser executor. The generator will throw an error if a build target can't be found and suggest passing one in manually.
Letting Nx infer the build target by default
nx g @nrwl/angular:cypress-component-configuration --project=my-cool-angular-project
Manually specifying the build target
nx g @nrwl/angular:cypress-component-configuration --project=my-cool-angular-project --build-target:some-angular-app:build --generate-tests
If you're wanting to use a build target with a specific configuration. i.e. my-app:build:production, then manually providing --build-target=my-app:build:production is the best way to do that.
Auto Generating Tests
You can optionally use the --generate-tests flag to generate a test file for each component in your project.
nx g @nrwl/angular:cypress-component-configuration --project=my-cool-angular-project --generate-tests
Running Component Tests
A new component-test target will be added to the specified project to run your component tests.
nx g component-test my-cool-angular-project
Here is an example of the project configuration that is generated. The --build-target option is added as the devServerTarget which can be changed as needed.
{
"targets" {
"component-test": {
"executor": "@nrwl/cypress:cypress",
"options": {
"cypressConfig": "<path-to-project-root>/cypress.config.ts",
"testingType": "component",
"devServerTarget": "some-angular-app:build",
"skipServe": true
}
}
}
}
Nx also supports React component testing.
Usage
nx generate cypress-component-configuration ...
By default, Nx will search for cypress-component-configuration in the default collection provisioned in workspace.json.
You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:
nx g @nrwl/angular:cypress-component-configuration ...
Show what will be generated without writing to disk:
nx g cypress-component-configuration ... --dry-run
